These prompts are issued by dpkg. You can disable them by passing the
--force-conf{new,old,def} options to dpkg, see dpkg(1); to get these flags
when dpkg is called from apt, put them in dpkg.cfg or apt.conf.
I don't think there's any way to automate the choice at the package level,
although you could maybe do something horrible using expect.
