--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.

** Changed in: pam (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix
