Sure, but one has to carefully note the available file names in case one is a temp file as the ucf man page discusses. I don't know enough about dpkg's handling of such files to know if the correct one will be edited. Much easier for the package manager/debconf to be extended to handle this step. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
