Hello Don,

debbugsconfig is shipped as part of debbugs but requires
/etc/debbugs which is part of debbugs-web

%dpkg-deb -c debbugs_2.6.3_all.deb | grep debbugsconfig
-rwxr-xr-x root/root      4249 2024-11-05 18:00 ./usr/sbin/debbugsconfig
-rw-r--r-- root/root      1068 2024-12-19 11:35 ./usr/share/man/man8/debbugsconfig.8.gz

%dpkg-deb -c debbugs-web_2.6.3_all.deb | grep etc
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2024-12-19 11:35 ./etc/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2024-12-19 11:35 ./etc/debbugs/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2024-12-19 11:35 ./etc/debbugs/html/
-rw-r--r-- root/root      1513 2024-11-05 18:00 ./etc/debbugs/html/Access.html.in
-rw-r--r-- root/root     10068 2024-11-05 18:00 ./etc/debbugs/html/Developer.html.in
-rw-r--r-- root/root     11185 2024-11-05 18:00 ./etc/debbugs/html/Reporting.html.in
-rw-r--r-- root/root      3054 2024-11-05 18:00 ./etc/debbugs/html/index.html.in
-rw-r--r-- root/root     16596 2024-11-05 18:00 ./etc/debbugs/html/server-control.html.in
-rw-r--r-- root/root      5312 2024-11-05 18:00 ./etc/debbugs/html/server-refcard.html.in
-rw-r--r-- root/root      7664 2024-11-05 18:00 ./etc/debbugs/html/server-request.html.in

If debbugs-web is not installed, then debbugsconfig fails with 
cp: cannot create regular file '/etc/debbugs/config

Cheers,
Bill.
