There are several ways. I like setting the EDITOR variable to a perl
script that will make the changes I desire and then select the editor
frontend for the task.
For example, the following configures the default paper size in
libpaper to be a US-centric "letter" default instead of "a4".
# With the frontend set to editor we get a file and we only need to
# change the value on the line from yes to no.
EDITOR='perl -pi -e
"s...@libpaper/defaultpaper...@libpaper/defaultpaper=\"'"letter"'\"@"' \
dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=editor libpaper1
You may want to set
export DEBCONF_ADMIN_EMAIL=""
to avoid any email, if email were to be sent.
