If you've got an existing install of postgresql somewhere else, you should be able to take the config line out of /var/cache/debconf/config.dat on the installed system and put it into the same place in your chroot. There's probably a cleaner way to do it, and I hope someone can point said cleaner way out. - Matt (Who knows grubby details about debconf internals, but has no clue about the clean user-preferred ways of doing things)
