 1. What package includes 'dpkg-reconfigure'?  I have the man pages for
 this command but not the binary.  I seem to have all the other dpkg
 commands.

copernicus:$ dpkg -S dpkg-reconfigure
debconf: /usr/share/man/pt_BR/man8/dpkg-reconfigure.8.gz
debconf: /usr/share/man/man8/dpkg-reconfigure.8.gz
debconf: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure
 
 trixie:~ find /usr/bin -name '*dpkg*'

As you see debconf has dpkg-reconfigure in /usr/sbin.  `locate *dpkg*'
is probably better than using find in this case.

Ah, yes.  I was not root when I tried running dpkg-reconfigure, and I
looked in /bin, /usr/bin, and /sbin, but I did not know about
/usr/sbin.  I ran it from root and all is well.  I wasn't aware of
'locate', so I'll use that in the future.

So about the locales, I ran dpkg-reconfigure locales, selected the
en_US and en_US.UTF-8 options, then chose en_us as the system
default.  Now I don't get the locale not supported by C library
message, so I'm assuming I did the right thing?  Why the two entries for
en_US?

Yep.

 Why the two entries for en_US?

The second one uses a Unicode character set for better multi-language
support. You may not need to worry about it, and UTF-8 isn't quite ready
across the whole distribution yet anyway.
