In Debian you can use a command line package manager called dpkg to install, uninstall and query the installed packages. Here's a few examples; the man page tells all.
dpkg -L <qpopperPackageName> will give you a list of files in the package. If not sure of the exact package name, use dpkg -l | grep qpopper. Two places where flags can be set are in the /etc/init.d/ startup script for qpopper, and in /etc/defaults/. Haven't seen this particular package, but the files are usually well commented with instructions. Hope this is helpful.
