Okay... unsurprisingly I've spent a lot more time looking at the
control file than the debconf template!

DevRef 6.4.2.4 recommends not explicitly mentioning string defaults,
because it's redundant and can be overruled by pre-seeding.
Instead, give the reader some clue what the question means - maybe:
_Description: Database host for naxsi:
Please specify the hostname of the server where the naxsi Web Application
Firewall's database should be located.
Onward to the control file...

That's rather an awkwardly long synopsis, considering you're going to
want to use it as the basis of longer blurbs. Looking at server
comparison pages I'd suggest:
Description: small, powerful, scalable web/proxy server

The grammar's a bit wonky here - I don't know what the "by many
concurrent HTTP-sessions" part means exactly. And *everything* in
Debian main has been kindly provided to the open-source community, so
that's not a distinctive feature of nginx (the upstream website treats
the name as intrinsically-lowercase, but wiki.nginx.org allows "Nginx"
at the start of a sentence). I'd suggest the following boilerplate:
Nginx ("engine X") is a high-performance web and reverse proxy server
created by Igor Sysoev. It can be used both as a standalone web server
and as a proxy to reduce the load on back-end HTTP or mail servers.

"Upgrading" to nginx-light from what? Surely not nginx-full?
Dropping the part I don't understand, I'm left with:
This is a dependency package to install either nginx-full (by default) or
nginx-light.

"Across"? "Packaged"? Why bother listing them anyway?
This package contains base configuration files used by all versions of
nginx.

[...]

It would be nice if we could give these nginx-$FLAVOR packages short
descriptions more similar to the rest:
Description: small, powerful, scalable web/proxy server (standard)
But no, that just causes more problems later. Try:
Description: nginx web/proxy server (standard version)
(Stressing the normalness, not the fullness.)
[...boilerplate...]

The first sentence of that should really either be included in the
boilerplate or left out; and since it explicitly mentions POP3/IMAP
and not SMTP, I was assuming until I read the details that it couldn't
function as an SMTP proxy.
Then in the second sentence, "enabled" implies they're "compiled in",
but that can't be right - at least for the ones listed as "Optional"!
Wait a minute, though... do I correctly understand that nginx-extra
contains everything that's in -full plus a bit more besides? That
really ought to be made clearer here.
How about:
This package provides a version of nginx with the complete set of
standard modules included (but omitting some of those included in
nginx-extra).
> .
> MODULES INCLUDED:
That's redundant (or contradictory) with the previous sentence, and
if you leave it out it becomes possible to capitalise the subheaders
and economise on newlines.

Surplus apostrophe, and inconsistent capitalisation policy. To keep
it parallel with nginx-full I'd suggest:
This package provides a very light version of nginx with only the
minimal set of features and modules.

Including the word "full" here just makes the distinction between
-full and -extras more confusing. (I would have guessed that
"nginx-extras" was a collection of optional modules you could
install "on top of" an nginx server package.)

The first sentence implies that this version of nginx is the
default flavour. I would suggest:
This package provides a version of nginx with the standard modules, plus
extra features and modules such as the Perl module, which allows the
addition of Perl in configuration files.
(Perl the language, not perl the executable or package.)

Another one that claims to provide the standard version; this time
it's claiming that the standard version of Nginx is one that
includes naxsi.
I've never liked the expression "Web Application Firewall" (it
sounds as if it means a PHP UI for iptables, rather than an
application-layer firewall for HTTP servers), but I suppose that
argument was lost ten years ago.

This is a terrible description, offering more or less no real clue
about what the package does or why I might want to install it. What
sort of thing are the "interceptor" and "extractor"? Apparently
daemons written in Python, but do they count as components of the
"autolearn daemon", or what?
Guessing wildly:
Description: nginx web/proxy server - naxsi configuration front-end

and as a proxy to reduce the load on back-end HTTP or mail servers.
.
This package provides the autolearning daemon and web user interface for
nginx's naxsi module.
.
It includes an interceptor (listening on TCP port 8080), which monitors
HTTP requests from naxsi, and an extractor (running on TCP port 8081),
which reads the database and prints reports about blocked requests.
