I had to run dpkg-reconfigure -a for certain reasons, and consequently given options for configure debconf. But I don't really know how those change things, and want to use the default settings.

Formulating Nimmermehr's answer into 2 commands that do the trick:

linenum=$(cat /var/cache/debconf/config.dat | grep -n 'Name: debconf/priority' | cut -d: -f1)

sed -n "$linenum,$(($linenum + 4))p" /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
