Looks good and thanks very much for working on it, but one suggestion and one question.
Suggestion
Copy the existing function debconf_select() to old_debconf_select() and add
the following near the top of the new debconf_select for backwards
compatibility and transition:
if ! db_metaget $template choices-c; then
old_debconf_select $@ # may need quoting
return $?
fi

Question
What exactly is the new preseeding? Has that been tested?
What would [1] need to be changed to after this patch is applied?
Note that even though it _says_ using localized values is deprecated, that
is still what we have been using and advertising for most questions where
it's relevant.
From what I remember when I looked into this myself, I think Choices-C now
contains technical codes instead of English strings. If I'm correct these
codes are not really human readable and are sensitive to change (e.g.
because they contain sorting codes), and thus not suitable for preseeding.
Cheers,
FJP
