You are probably looking for unattended installation and configuration using "noninteractive" dbconf frontend.

Have a look at this blog post and program:

Managing OpenBSD installed packages declaratively

That's sure one idea, to have a config file (that's the
"declarative" part) and then a script that converts that into
commands of/to the traditional package manager to setup the
system in accordance ...

Anyone has that for Debian and Debian-like systems?
