I have a question concerning apt-get. I can run apt-get upgrade with the -y
option and any prompts from apt are assumed yes. However, apt executes
debconf much of the time to configure different aspects of the packages.
I'd like something similar to '-y' which will use the default options
debconf provides. Can anyone help me out with this. I didn't see anything
in the man page for apt-get.

 liberty and democracy?
