OK, solution to both problems.

For debconf, upgrade to the latest unstable (0.9.x), which goes without
a hitch (thanks, Joey).

For RealPlayer, the !@#$%^&*() installation still wasn't working
(nonzero exit status in postinst), so I did a 'dpkg -i' on the
debianized RPM:

    - Download realplayer RPM.
    - $ fakeroot alien $realplayerRPM
    - $ sudo dpkg -i $realplayerDEB

Copacetic.
