this is what i do in the postinst of libapache-mod-ssl package:

# we do not want to bother the user with useless questions at install time      
                                  
if [ "$1" = "reconfigure" ] || [ "${DEBCONF_RECONFIGURE}" = "1" ]; then
        mod-ssl-makecert                                                        
                                  
fi                                                                              
                                  

this is documented in debconf-devel manpage.

cheers
