I think not. Your default configuration mode is probably set to either
dialog or interactive. This assumes that you will always be running
from a terminal. I think if you reconfigure debconf and/or ucf with
priority low, it will ask you the quesion again and you can choose a
non-interactive mode. Alternatively, there may a be a command-line
option you can pass along to apt-get in the cron-apt config that will
accomplish the same thing.
