That's problimatic in other ways, for example it sets the value of
base-config/main-menu to the last menu item in base-config skipping the
rest.

There's really no value in preseeing debconf/frontend to newt (perhaps
to text, which will be handled ok I think). Can we fix this bug by just
updating the manual to not suggest using debconf-get-selections except
as a way to find individual entries to use in a preseed file, and not to
use it for the whole file?
