You need the "debconf-utils" package for the debconf-get-selections
utility. You can also look at the debconf database directly; it is a
plain text file:
awk '/fontconfig/,/^$/' /var/cache/debconf/config.dat

All these package must depend on debconf, so this should work:
aptitude search '~i~Ddebconf'
Another option is to use the "Owners:" lines from config.dat:
gawk '/^Owners:/{sub("Owners: ","");gsub(", ","\n");print}' /var/cache/debconf/config.dat | sort -u
