Brian,
After reviewing your results and then double checking my setup, after some experimenting I found if I remove client.conf then the prompt for a localhost password does not occur anymore. The contents of the client.conf were just:
ServerName localhost
This seems like a pointless/redundant setting that I had if I understand it correctly, maybe it was confusing the post install to try and connect to itself over localhost thus prompting for a password to update the PPDs as if it were an external
print server. I think after my quick testing this resolves my issue, but was hoping you could shed some light on if this explanation makes sense or if there is another reason why this would break things?

Updating
the PPDs can now be run from the cups postinst script. (The
date
stamps don't fit with those in /var/cache/cups/ppd-updates).
#created a dummy printer using gutenprint driver (this has only so far occured on boxes that have a printer using any gutenprint driver)
I
did the same:
lpadmin
-p ... -v file:/dev/null -E -m <gutenprint_PPD>
#reinstalled cups and got stuck at prompt that breaks our unattended upgrade

So,
I am unable to reproduce the issue. Perhaps there is something
specific
to your setup in /etc/cups/ which causes it.
I
have attached my error_log so that it can be compared with yours. One
of
the differences is that mine has load_ppd lines. (The "cupsd is not
idle...."
lines have been removed from the log).
Regards,

Brian.
