I tried this works on my computer:
echo "emdebian-tools  emsetup/aptagent        boolean true" |
debconf-set-selections
echo "emdebian-tools  emsource/targetsuite    select  unstable" |
debconf-set-selections
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install emdebian-tools

It installed without ask me to answer questions. :)
