apt-utils package, pre-configure all debconf question *before* all
packages are installed. Right? So, is the same approuch but before we
configure, we can read a file and then preseed the debconf and the do
apt-utils run normaly.

We need only provide a file in a default way like DEBIAN/preseed and
then process it on dpkg-preconfigure.
IMHO, this is the way to go.
