Render me confused, how can you install it without debconf when it
declares a dependency on debconf?

Ah, okay, so you are talking about the noninteractive frontend.

What it is trying to do is to open an "error" template telling the
user that is has no hosts to configure.
Without information about which entries you supplied to debconf
I'll have a hard time to figure this out. It is surely related to
a new feature in the package configuration scripts that allows pulling
the hosts to configure from the DynDNS web page.
Did you update the debconf settings for ddclient 3.8.0-3 or are you using
the debconf settings which worked with some older version (<= 3.8.0-1)?
