I'd forgotten about the seen flag cache used in making it easier to do scripts that back up.

As soon as the script exits (or you call STOP), debconf will roll the changes to the seen flag that are cached when questions are displayed. Manually modifying seen flags after a question is seen will invalidate the entry in the seen cache for that question, so your changes will stick. It could be considered a bug that debconf does not pull values out of the seen cache when you ask for them with fget.. -- see shy jo
