I prefer debconf/frontend because it's easier to type and because I
often try to type DEBCONF_FRONTEND. Also for consistency with most of
the other installer options. :-)
Anyway, IIRC the reason debconf/frontend does not work is because of the
following in rootskel/src/lib/debian-installer.d/S60frontend:
if [ -z "$DEBIAN_FRONTEND" ] ; then
for frontend in gtk newt slang text ; do
if [ -e "/usr/lib/cdebconf/frontend/$frontend.so" ] ; then
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=$frontend
break
fi
done
fi
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND
