This is also better for debian, because every package comes with its own config tool. That way, the config tool can be specific enough for the package. But: In my opinion it should be acessible through dselect. Not just once when installing, but always. You'd step through the package you want to configure it. Maybe you can see the actual configuration there without having to run the script actually. But probably they did that already in the diety project in hamm. They're doing a lot of work on that.
