For compiling kernels, install kernel-package and look in
/usr/share/doc/kernel-package, tho I must say I just do it myself the
normal way. Apache ive always edited httpd.conf directly myself, same
with /etc/network/interfaces.
One useful tip for using debconf is to source /etc/bash_completion then
use dpkg-reconfigure <tab> <tab> , that will give you a list of all the
apps that can be configured (somewhat) via debconf.
Other than that, having a look in /usr/share/doc/<packagename>/ can
usually provide some salient info, specifically the README.Debian files.
