What kind of automatic install? If you're using preseeding:

d-i netcfg/get_hostname     string unassigned-hostname
d-i netcfg/get_domain       string unassigned-domain

This will cause the questions to be marked as seen, so they are not asked.
Netcfg will still fill in reasonable defaults from DNS. It's possible to do
fully noninteractive d-i installs using preseeding, as documented in the
installation manual.
