If you are willing to accept the defaults specified in debconf packages,
you can just set DEBIAN_FRONTENT=Noninteractive in the environment before
running dpkg, and debconf will use the defaults for everything.
If you need to change defaults for some reason, it grows more complicated,
and you'll have to pre-seed the answer database before installing stuff.
