It is by design of debconf that settings on the system take precedence over any values set in the debconf database. There is a valid use case for being able to preseed the set of modules that you want to install, but it's difficult to implement this while maintaining the requirement to respect any local changes to the config files; so for the moment this isn't going to be fixed.
