The config files for installed kernels are in /boot/.

The config of the kernel in the base tarball is in
  dists/stable/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/kernel-config
or similar on the Debian servers.

To extract just the config file from a .deb:

  dpkg --fsys-tarfile kernel-image-2.2.17_2.2.17pre6-1.deb \
    | tar xf - ./boot/config-2.2.17

Adjust version numbers to taste.

Hope this helps,
