Thanks, this clue led me to "man debconf" and to "man whiptail"
which was enough for me to run "dpkg-reconfigure science-config"
and successfully navigate the user-interaction screens.
For the debconf maintainers, I still suggest it would be nice to have
some little syntax hint
displayed in the dialogues, when a new user might not even know what program
[s]he is dealing with.
