With version 1.4.48 debconf-set-selections introduced ability to set
seen flag using line:
owner\tvariable_name\tseen\tvalue
Howewer as I can see debconf-get-selections doesn't generate such output
until now (version 1.5.13). It's not too difficult to make patch like
this one:

It's also easy to remove added lines with grep -v \
'^[^[:space:]]*[[:space:]][^[:space:]]*[[:space:]]seen[[:space:]].*$'
or something like.
Patched version is 1.5.13, but, unfortunately I have only 'sarge' there
and tested against it, not 'etch' or 'sid' (I tested only output of
program, not in conjunction with debconf-set-selections there, but with
other system at my home I tested similar patch together with test debconf
database).
