Also you need to say that debconf-show cannot tell the user which are

It can't. debconf fundamentally doesn't have this

Also debconf-show should perhaps indicate which items will cause
a subsequent run of dpkg-reconfigure to ask questions, vs. which items
are inaccessible via dpkg-reconfigure.

Bug #819845 [debconf] mention how to reconfigure the items shown by debconf-show
Bug reassigned from package 'debconf' to 'libc6'.
No longer marked as found in versions debconf/1.5.59.
Ignoring request to alter fixed versions
Package: libc6
Version: 2.23-0experimental1
Severity: wishlist
Every upgrade the upgrade stops and the operator must walk over and
press return to get it started again.
The message shown about restarting services exim4 cron atd should also
mention how/that one can also restart without asking.
