It seemed this failed to set default value for tetex-bin/hyphen
because generated DEFAULT_ANS was in a form (for example)
french[=patois],ngerman[=naustrian-neue_Rechtschreibung]
but it should be in a form
french[=patois], ngerman[=naustrian-neue_Rechtschreibung]
(note space after comma!)

With the former value of DEFAULT_ANS, I saw no default 
in a debconf window but with the latter I saw french and 
ngerman as defaults as far as I tested.

So I think the following would be a correct patch:
(note 
DEFAULT_ANS=`echo -n "$DEFAULTS_MERGED" | tr -d ',' | tr ' ' '\n' | sort -u | tr '\n' ',' | sed 's/,$//' | sed 's/,/, /g'`
especially the last sed 's/,/, /g')
