Thanks for the suggestion, but it did not work.  Here's what I got:

-----

root@smp6:~# dpkg-reconfigure -fnoninteractive -pcritical debconf
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: please specify a package to reconfigure
Segmentation fault
root@smp6:~#

dpkg-reconfigure does not see the package as having "installed" status,
since it has been unpacked, but not yet configured; therefore it cannot
be reconfigured because it hasn't been configured in the first place.
