It's not realy an answer (sorry).

I tryed the following to no avail:

$ export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text
$ ssh installer@<ip|hostname> -o SendEnv=DEBIAN_FRONTEND

Shell prompt in the installer:
- Exporting DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text
- There are no file related to ssh that I can find.


From what I gather online you might have more chances with the 
following (untested):

https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apbs03.html.en

Please let me know if you find a way to get the frontend as text when 
installing Debian using ssh.

P.S. You might be better of asking on debian-user! :)
