DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive is Wrong

When running the installer, you should get prompted about things that aren't set by Debathena config packages, especially when installing something as large as thirdparty or extra-software. We should make our install shell script instead preseed the "seen" flag for all the packages that we configure.

I assume you are talking about debathena-auto-update.

This script does not run in an environment where there is a "you" to prompt. Either it's a private machine where the owner has abdicated update responsibility (by selecting -workstation), or it's a cluster machine. If it is not appropriate for a machine to make blind decisions about updates, then it should not be running this script.

I'm actually referring to install-debathena.sh. Sorry about the confusion; I agree it should be set for auto-update.
