It sounds like you chose the KDE frontend to debconf, so it /is/ trying to connect to your Xserver as root.

OK, it doesn't complain about the X server anymore, but I get this now:
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: noflushd is broken or not fully installed DESTROY created new reference to dead object ' Qt::VBoxLayout' during global destruction.
I tried issuing # apt-get install noflushd again but it just came up with a dpkg exit status 1 (presumably the same error).
I've looked it up in the bugs section and its looks as though it has had a bug filled against it, but I'm not very skilled at reading bug reports! (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=noflushd).
It's had a bug filed, which has been fixed (hence the fact it's listed as resolved), but checking the Testing Status bit on:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/noflushd.html
noflushd is fixed in unstable (sid) but the fixed package hasn't made it to testing (sarge) yet, but should do so tomorrow.
