Mmm, honestly I have never done much of that so I can only be of limited
help here. By the looks of it though, it seems that you should use
debconf-set-selections. Apparently, debconf-communicate is for
"debugging"-purposes. Note that debconf-det-selections does seem to use
a slightly different format (and defaults to marking things as "seen").
>From what I can tell, the existing practice seem to be migrating values
from an already configured host like:
"""
hostA$ debconf-get-selections |\
grep "localepurge\/" > localepurge.preseed
hostB$ debconf-set-selections < localepurge.preseed
"""
Disclaimer: Haven't tried it - just saw it in [0] so I assumed it "just
works(tm)" like that.
It is possible that the people on the debian-user lists can help you
more with this[1].

Actually, you should be able to just install an /etc/locale.nopurge and
localepurge should pick it up just fine. It might not skip the
questions in this case though (because they won't be marked as seen).
