As you coded it, we will only loop through frontends if
DEBIAN_FRONTEND is unset, which it will never be after the first
time through. If you unset it after exiting main-menu, a new
frontend will be chosen.

We can do this by setting DEBIAN_FRONTEND on the init line.

Your code (with the aforementioned tweak) should do this. I don't
know if this is the best way, however.
