Hi, since I was involved in the denoted discussion, some more details:
Debconf questions are asked with priority medium [1] and thus not shown in default setups. That's fine for the user and directory because the postinstall script has sensible defaults [2]. However, the code setting up gitolite is only executed when an admin key is defined because of "if [ -n "$ADMINKEY" ]; then". For the reason outlined above, this is not true for an average setup unless you prompt with priority high for the admin key (from debconf(7): high: Questions that don’t have a reasonable default.) Alternatively you could also generate a random key if this makes sense for you.
