I see that many others have replied regarding the auto* configure
script.
But you question below left me with an impression that it could be
related to the config script of the package that is made to use debconf
stuff in a package. Is this right?

Well, if you indeed wanted to ask about the config script that is run
before the package in unpacked upon installation, then some references
that I used are the following:

* http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2001/10/msg02204.html
Hope this helps, Rogério.
