You can specify priority level for the configuration questions when doing dpkg-reconfig. How can you specify priority level for the configuration questions when installing via apt-get install <pkgs>?
man dpkg-reconfigure
The man command can answer a lot of your questions for you, and if it doesn't, it will at least let you ask better questions.
In this instance, you're looking for "dpkg-reconfigure -plow" where -p is like --priority, and "low" is the value passed to it.
If you are going to give someone a RTFM, at least RTFQ, he knew that and states his understanding of that in his first sentence.
@OP: I think you want 'dpkg-reconfigure debconf'[its the second dialog]
