  • Thanks for this. I switched over to debconf just now, it was rather easy and is definitely the right way to go. However, it still displays unanswered questions even if -y is specified to apt-get, so I still have the same question: How can I skip the debconf questions and use the defaults if -y is specified?

    Ah, I thought “and things like that” in the question was significant. See the last link in the answer: -y given to apt-get isn’t visible to maintainer scripts, you need to set DEBIAN_FRONTEND. Commented Apr 22, 2024 at 15:55
