<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<B>debconf-show</B> lets you query the debconf database in different ways.
<P>
The most common use is ``debconf-show packagename'', which displays all items
in the debconf database owned by a given package, and their current values.
Questions that have been asked already are prefixed with an '*'.
<P>
This can be useful as a debugging aid, and especially handy in bug reports
involving a package's use of debconf.
