There is evidently an additional package required to use all the features of "debconf-get-selections".
After installing debconf-utils my command bombed with an error message from a perl script. http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/all/debconf-utils/filelist reminded me where to look for documentation. The documentation there led me to download the another package of documentation.
Something in my un-recorded chain of actions caused me to do a Synaptic search for the string "debconf-". I installed all items which seemed possibly relevant. Even those explicitly labeled as tools for a different DE (I have Xfce installed). My debconf-get-selections command then worked.
I'll chase down what was actually required and follow up with a bug report if required.
