I don't know if there's an command to do that, but this'll probably work.
dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}' | xargs dpkg-reconfigure

Doesn't dpkg -l truncate long package names?  If so the commands below will fail
on a small percentage of packages.

Does anyone know a way to list packages and see the full name?
