Yes, this should be possible. I'll take a look at it.

Thanks for the report.

Dear Maintainer,

It's not possible to use dpkg-set-selections to preseed the following debconf 
items:

sympa/language
sympa/hostname
sympa/listmaster
wwsympa/wwsympa_url

This is due to debian/config always using db_set to overwrite these values.

Instead of always using the values set under "# Default values", the config 
script should check whether the debconf database already has entries for these 
items, and use them instead.
