Changing the default value changes the semantics of a question, does it
not?

To enable auto-installation, perhaps.

I had an idea on this yesterday, I'm not sure if {c,}debconf supports
it. In templates.fr, you could have:
Description: foo
bar
Description-fr: <foo>
<bar>
Default: ftp.d.o
Default-fr_FR: ftp.fr.d.o
Default-fr_CA: ftp.ca.d.o
Default-fr_XX: ftp.xx.d.o
Et.c. As I said, I'm not sure if debconf is happy about it, and I'm not
sure it's a good idea either, but it would enable more "intelligent"
default values. You'd ask the user for language and country early in the
installation. This could also carry over to be default locale in the
target system (and indeed, the user might expect it to be).
