It seems like this was a deliberate change:

debconf (1.5.52) unstable; urgency=low

Title:
  Missing option -a on dpkg-reconfigure

Status in cdebconf package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in debconf package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm using debconf 1.5.55ubuntu2 and I'm noticing that the option -a to
  reconfigure all installed packages does not exist anymore. Is there a
  special reason that it got removed? Maybe it can be implemented again.
