Are you talking from a system administrator perspective, or from a
package maintainer perspective? If the later, which package?

All the default answers that are used during package
config/postinst/postrm/preinst/prerm are stored in
/etc/dbconfig-common/<package>.conf and can be changed there before
taking action. I assume this is not what you mean.

If you are concerned about package maintainership, I think you can do
this for new installs by doing "db_set <package>/dbconfig-upgrade true"
before calling dbconfig-common in the maintainer scripts.
