The answer was in the Debian Reference Manual
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-package.en.html#s-apt-get-auto
Create a file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50automatic-installs-save-oldconfig
Put the following into it:
Dpkg::Options {"--force-confold";}
PS. Oddly enough, --force-confold is said to be "mostly intended to be used by
experts only" in the manual of dpkg.
