Well Wichert and I have talked about this.

One nice thing about debconf is it separates out nearly all translatable
text from the postinst and configure script into it's template file. So it
merely becomes a question of adding translations to that file. The file is
formatted similarly to a package's control file, and should be extensible
enough so we can embed translated text in it in a variety of ways (what
works good for a control file?)
