I was under the same dilemma that you are facing now. That tutorial
makes references to the policy and I went there to see if I could find
anything, but I didn't find.
To integrate debconf on vrms, I used the tutorial, lintian, a bit of
guess-work (e.g., things about the debconf-2.0) and a bit of common
sense (taking into consideration the fact that the document is not
exactly that new).
It would be nicer to have it completely described (and in an updated
manner) in a definitive reference, of course.

I guess that that's the proper thing to do here.
