The frontend is the part that the user sees: either a userinterface
(console,web,X11), or a non-interactive frondend (LDAP, SQL, text, etc).
You can get to the configuration space in three ways:
1) the configmodule can interface with the frontend
2) link with the library that implements the configuration space. This is
actually what the frontend will do
3) use a utility program dpkg-vars to make your queries or updates. (usefull
for scripts).
