Assumming you have debconf installed, edit /etc/apt/apt.conf, make it look
like this:
// Pre-configure all packages before they are installed.
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"dpkg-preconfig --apt --frontend=Base";};
This uses the base frontend, which is a null frontend -- the defaults are
provided for all questions.
An alternative (that may be a better idea) is:
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"dpkg-preconfig --apt --priority=critical";};
Which lets you see only the most important questions.
