That's interesting. This is a place where cdebconf deviates from the
debconf spec, apparently; ", " is the official list delimiter.

Well I was wondering about geographical drill-down, or just geographical
groupings/headings in the list:
Europe
Germany
France
Spain
...
America
US
Canada
Mexico

benefit an installer. Although those clicky world maps must be annoying
for those who live in very small countries.
