Will that work with `locales' ? There was a thread here about it where it was shown that locales doesn't use debconf at first installation at all, and the author said that debconf wasn't a registry. The logical conclusion was that feeding config.dat was wrong, but that making so that when a program asks questions through debconf, correct answers are fed is the way to go. Someone even implemented it.
