On my system, debconf-get-selections returns "command not found."

How does one get a list of all packages that debconf configures?  The
man page for debconf-show says, "The most common use is "debconf-show
packagename", which displays all items in the debconf database owned by
a given package, and their current values.  Questions that have been
asked already are prefixed with an ’*’.  This can be useful as a
debugging aid, and especially handy in bug reports involving a package’s
use of debconf."  But it doesn't say how to figure out which packages
use debconf.
