Ok, my report is not totally correct before, i have looked a little to
it and you can try this steps:

1) set debconf to use gnome:  dpkg-reconfigure debconf
2) look if gnome interface works:  dpkg-reconfigure -fgnome console-data
3) if works, try a simple 'dpkg-reconfigure console-data', your
debconf is actually set to use gnome, but you have a error message saying:

 debconf: no se pudo inicializar la interfaz: GNOME
 debconf: (Can't locate Debconf/FrontEnd/GNOME.pm in @INC (@INC
contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8
/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5
/usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at
(eval 19) line 2.)
 debconf: probando ahora la interfaz: Noninteractive
 Looking for keymap to install:

Here happens 2 things:

1) debconf not is launched how Gnome (how is actually set)
2) debconf switch to noninteractive instead of dialog (your before
default front-end and the one to try to switch in the older versions
of debconf, atleast in my experience)

Tested on the version 1.5.3 and works good, and fails after to update
to 1.5.5
