Your default configuration mode is probably set to either dialog or interactive. This assumes that you will always be running from a terminal. I think if you reconfigure debconf and/or ucf with priority low, it will ask you the quesion again and you can choose a non-interactive mode. Alternatively, there may a be a command-line option you can pass along to apt-get in the cron-apt config that will accomplish the same thing.
