I think you badly need to read debconf-devel(7), which covers this (in the sections headed "THE DEBCONF PROTOCOL", "LIBRARIES", and others). When I say "skipped", I mean that debconf decides not to display the question because it already has an answer cached, because the priority is below the user's threshold, or whatever.
