Well, simply setting DEBCONF_USE_CDEBCONF to 1 is enough to make confmodule use cdebconf instead of debconf, including with apt. However it is for now completely separate from the original debconf databases, with no migration plan yet ; so it starts from a completely blank database, and it becomes a bit messy if one tries to run dpkg-(p)reconfigure. Currently ironing out various issues, specifically to get dpkg-preconfigure and the escape CAPB working, but I'll start looking into the migration as well.
