I am not explicitly setting DEBIAN_FRONTEND and I have never set that myself.  
I did change menu.lst at one point (playing with splash and quiet) and do 
remember getting prompted by grub. I said to keep the currently installed 
version:
$ echo "get grub/update_grub_changeprompt_threeway" | debconf-communicate
0 keep_current

I thought this meant don't change things like defoptions, altoptions,
etc and didn't think it would have anything to do with my AUTOMAGIC
kernels.

I also now know why the strace didn't do anything-- I didn't realize
update-grub was a shell script! I have attached update-grub modified
with '#!/bin/bash -x' output.
