actually fai-debconf is doing quite well, it was all my fault. I was mocked
by a TAB that was transmogrified into separate spaces by cut&paste.

I used the output of getconf-get-selections (TAB separated fields) to feed
my fai debconf config file. By cut&paste the TAB separator was transformed
into two spaces. Debconf interpreted this input as two whitespace separators
with an empty field in between and fell back to a default value (here: local 
delivery only). This was also the default deboconf value from FAIBASE, so I 
blamed fai-debconf for this flaw until I realized what really happened here.

Sorry to bother you all. Cheers, Thomas
