Are you upgrading to unstable or testing? I remember seeing something like
this in testing a few weeks ago. Once you get all the packages installed,
it should go away...
You could turn of preconfig by commenting the line in /etc/apt/apt.conf.
(It's not needed, it just lets you run the config scripts all at once,
instead of sitting around while it gets around to asking you stuff every now
and then...)
