I get the similar result and interested in it too.

These are all questions that dpkg-reconfigure asked, with sample answers and required answer types. ddclient ddclient/password password ddclient ddclient/fetchhosts select From list # Run ddclient as daemon? ddclient ddclient/run_daemon boolean true ddclient ddclient/hostslist multiselect ddclient ddclient/interface string ddclient ddclient/protocol select dyndns2 # Run ddclient on PPP connect? ddclient ddclient/run_ipup boolean false ddclient ddclient/username string ddclient ddclient/blankhostslist error ddclient ddclient/names string ddclient ddclient/modifiedconfig error ddclient ddclient/checkip boolean true ddclient ddclient/server string members.dyndns.org # Interval between ddclient runs: ddclient ddclient/daemon_interval string 300 ddclient ddclient/service select www.dyndns.com Put in proper values and put it in a file, say ddclient.answers. Then run 'debconf-set-selections ddclient.answers' before running dpkg-reconfigure. Hope it will work.
