The 2nd template should be translatable and is a good candidate for my proposed "sublevel 6" that wouldn't be counted in statistics (at least those that I track) > think that, from an i18n point of view, it would still be possible to get that > patch in D-I for Wheezy ?

Then update the patch...then propose a patch to the D-I documentation (the part about preseeding as any preseedable value should be documented there). I don't think an NMU for a -boot maintained package is the best solution. Once the patch is OK for the D-I team, then we can commit it and upload the package.
