Er, I really don't see how that could be the case; the locales package
correctly uses the debconf package for all of its prompting, and debconf
respects DEBIAN_FRONTEND.  I even have the same versions of debconf and
locales installed that you included in your report.  Is it possible that the
affected version of debconf is not the same as the one installed on the
system where you ran reportbug?  Does the problem persist if you run the
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive dpkg-reconfigure command multiple times?
