I don't know what you're talking about: apt-utils does not use debconf.
apt-get install debconf-utils; echo get debconf/showold | debconf-communicate
If that outputs "true", then you have configured debconf to redisplay
already seen questions.
If not, I would dearly like the see a log of a package, any package,
displaying the same question both in preconfiguration and at install
time, with DEBCONF_DEBUG='.*' set and exported in the environment.
