Yes, this is a bug ;) Basically previous answers should be
preserved and perhaps some mechanism using db_get and db_set
could do this trick. But need more investigation...

in postinst.
Further, combining the first mechanism (that is, preserving
previous answers), even noninteractive install could be more
easy in some cases, I guess.
And, anyway, we should provide more refined mechanism in the
next revision.
