Please, was it necessary to repeat 50 lines of previous emails for a
single line reply?

Yes, your reply was most helpful (I wasn't aware of this command) but it
took me 3 re-reads of Trevor's message before I found the single line you
had added.

Please, ONLY quote that part of the previous email you are replying to.
The rest is just wasted.

btw it seems dpkg-reconfigure is part of debconf.
