I have that too; I wouldn't worry about it. My guess is this is a result
from having the ISDN drivers compiled as a module.

It's difficult to make a good system administration tool, and very easy to
make a bad one. Debian developers are mostly power users and won't accept a
sysadmin tool that "takes over" and makes the standard ("edit config file")
approach more difficult or impossible.
That said, I believe people are working on Linuxconf for Debian, and some
developers are participating in the development of COAS
(http://www.coas.org).
