--force-confold and --force-confnew are options to dpkg that only
control whether dpkg conffile prompts are shown. pam configuration
files are not conffiles, because conffiles are not a suitable mechanism
for managing files with multiple sources of configuration data.
The whiptail prompts are done through debconf, which means that a
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=none setting will give you the desired results for a
non-interactive upgrade.

Title:
pam-auth-update ignores force-confdef and force-confold when
configuring
Status in pam package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
When the libpam-systemd package is installed, the apt settings "force-
confdef" and "force-confold" are ignored, so that any of the
"/etc/pam.d/common-*" are modified, the whiptail menu is shown; this
breaks unattended system upgrades.
