Marking as Invalid per the discussion from #ubuntu-installer below:

09:49:05 < evand> cjwatson: before I embark on this task, any objection to me 
modifying debconf-set-selections to include an option to use the escape 
capability?  I can get m-a to work with spaces in the key name via escape, but 
wubi fails on debconf-set-selection as its not using the capability.
09:49:22 < cjwatson> spaces in the *key* name?
09:49:47 < cjwatson> evand: can we avoid using spaces in question names? I 
really don't think it's a good idea ...
09:50:49 < evand> cjwatson: I don't think I can remove the Windows username 
from the keys in question, so my options are to either use spaces or continue 
to replace them with a colon and have wubi carry that wart.  Would you prefer 
the latter?
09:51:10 < cjwatson> I think it's definitely preferable to replace them with 
something
09:51:48 < evand> ok, works for me.  I'll have Ago make the change and leave 
m-a as is.
09:51:51 < cjwatson>    So, what do we need to store in a variable template? Of 
course we need a
09:51:54 < cjwatson>    name to identify the template. Template names are made 
up of components
09:51:57 < cjwatson>    separated by the character `/' (slash). Each component 
is limited to
09:52:01 < cjwatson>    alphanumerics and `+' `-' `.' (plus, minus, full stop).
