how are debconf and dpkg-deb related?



hi,

I am studying the Debian package management system. I am having trouble figuring out how debconf and dpkg-deb are related.

Heres how i understand the package management system:
dpkg-deb does the actual installation/removal of packages
dpkg is a frontend to dpkg-deb
apt is front end to dpkg
Synaptic,aptitude etc are frontends to apt.

So where exactly does debconf fit in?

thanks in advance
