First install the package you want with:
tee package.install.log | dpkg -i package.deb
(Your answers will be logged in the file package.install.log)

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to automate an upgrade/update of already
installed Debian systems. Since there are several packages that
require user interaction this cannot be done over night or at remote
sites without the intervention of a system administrator.
Does the dpkg command allow to accept default values for the specified
packages with or without a configuration file or is there any other
way to do it?
Thanks,
Holger.

On your other machines, just do :
cat package.install.log |dpkg -i package.deb
Here, i have a central machine where root can access all other
machines using rsh :
for i in 'list-of-machines'
do
echo -n $i ...
rcp package.deb $i:/tmp/package.deb
cat package.install.log | rsh $i "PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH \
dpkg -i /tmp/package.deb"
echo done.
done
