apt-extracttemplates - Utility to extract debconf config and templates
from Debian packages

DESCRIPTION
apt-extracttemplates will take one or more Debian package files as
input and write out (to a temporary directory) all associated config
scripts and template files. For each passed in package that contains
config scripts and templates, one line of output will be generated in
the format:
package version template-file config-script
template-file and config-script are written to the temporary directory
specified by the -t or --tempdir (APT::ExtractTemplates::TempDir)
directory, with filenames of the form package.template.XXXXXX and
package.config.XXXXXX
