That doesn't happen on my system. I've completely wiped any traces
of Djano (including config) and installed "mailman3-full" which
also installed "mailman3-web". I got prompted twice for the database
that I want to use (I chose "sqlite" both times) but I was never
asked for a super password.
And the "python3-django-postorius" definitely got installed:
Setting up python3-django-mailman3 (1.2.0-3) ...
Setting up python3-django-postorius (1.2.4-1+deb10u1) ...
Setting up python3-django-hyperkitty (1.2.2-1+deb10u1) ...
Setting up mailman3-web (0+20180916-8) ...
dbconfig-common: writing config to
/etc/dbconfig-common/mailman3-web.conf

I've not deactivated "debconf" as the prompts for the database prove.
But there is no prompt for the super user password.

Running "dpkg-reconfigure mailman3-web" manually gave me the dialog
for setting up the Postorius admin user.
Kind regards
