I've gone through the same pain as the original poster. It is not enough to simply backup /etc, as some packages automatically generate config files from the debconf info (xfree86 being one). In these cases you want the debconf info to be accurate. Is anyone able to answer the original question? I'd like to know the answer too. How can you backup your debconf answers and restore them in such a way that it replaces re-entering the answers? I'd like something similar to dpkg --get/set--selections, but for debconf answers.
