apt-utils is not required & this is not a warning (in the sense of an
unimportant error), but an information why debconf isn't asking
questions to configure all packages upfront at the start of the run, but
will ask questions (if any) while the packages are actually installed as
needed potentially interrupting the process multiple times waiting for
user input who might have decided to take a walk while this lengthy
installation process runs to return to a machine having stopped half-way
through with a configuration question (not installed) vs. a machine who
asked the questions upfront and is now done (installed). The end result
doesn't change regardless of apt-utils being installed or not – its just
a matter of which way is taken to get there.
(In an ideal world, in reality there are still packages who have to ask
questions in the middle of it as those only come up in certain
configurations and/or situations and can't be asked upfront).
