`man dpkg-reconfigure' shows:

       -pvalue, --priority=value
              Set the lowest priority of questions you are inter-
              ested  in.  Valid  priorities  are  currently  low,
              medium,  high,  and  critical. The default priority
              can be permanently changed by:

               dpkg-reconfigure --priority=medium debconf

              Any questions with a priority  below  the  selected
              priority  will be ignored and their default answers
              will be used.
