Patch for DEBCONF_FRONTEND is attached. I'ts totally untested at the moment since my I don't want to test it on my work machine and the sparc box is not installed, so I can't build d-i there. I had to create debconf-fget in packages/debian-installer/utils, shamelessly copying from debconf-get. Since I don't see how debconf-get is installed in di-utils, I assume it happens automagically and that the same magic will pickup debconf-fget as well...
