It should not AFAIK. dh doesn't call random dh_* scripts, you need to ask
it explicitely "dh --with config-model $@" and you need to provide
a /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Sequence/config-model.pm file.
That said dh_config is probably a bad name, it's too generic IMO.
dh_config_model ? dh_install_config_model ?
A question about this project, I've recently discovered augeas, how do you
compare yourself with it?
