I also see that you should set two more environment variables
(promises.cf is a good place for that):
APT_LISTBUGS_FRONTEND="none"
APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND="none"
Again, it's better you don't know where I got this information from :)

it doesn't. I guess the variable setting with env is not exported by
apt-get to the dpkg subprocess. It is still hanging on user input.
