The current model is not robust (as I encountered dpkg/debconf errors of this types several times):
Use of uninitialized value [1] in join or string at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/Stack.pm line 111. Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm line 83. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm line 84.

The current design depends on "faking" the dpkg-reconfigure EDITOR with a on-the-fly created sh script which will finally cat the json value formated as a key=value format.

I wonder why debconf-set-selections wasn't used to begin with.
Piping the questions (4 fields format) to debconf-set-selections should be enough (uploading them to use a regular file is possible too).
Then dpkg-reconfigure would have to be re-run again to take the new values into account.
(debconf-set-selection --check may be of some interest too)

is there interest in revisiting this module?
