What you are doing at the end here is not supposed to work. Preseeding only work before the package is installed, as the authorative configuration setting after installation is the content of the configuration on disk, and not the values in the debconf database. If you want to change settings using debconf automatically after installation, you need to stack debconf backends and force debconf to ignore the set command from the config script. The reason for this is that debconf is not a registry, only a mechanism to ask questions.
