See http://kitenet.net/programs/sshcvs/?debconf for the CVS repository, see http://www.debian.org/~joeyh/debconf/ for some pre-alpha .debs, and mail... hmmm. I'm not sure. Possibly config-subscribe@kitenet.net to subscribe to the discussion list. This is the `debconf' project, which is based on Wichert's configuration management script from ages ago. It has a variety of frontends: traditional lind based, dialog based, gtk based and web based. It's even basically functional (you can use it to configure packages).
