It would probably be possible to add a "Prompts: always | overwrite | never" tag to the Debian control file, then process all those that have it set to never, then unknown, then overwrite, then always.
The sledgehammer approach would be to kill any dpkg -i that prompts and have the manager continue with the next one when there is a large group. Then apt-get install will detect the packages as partially installed and rerun the postinst scripts.
