first things first, dbc really ought to work out-of-the-box for noninteractive 
installs with "reasonable defaults".  the only previso currently is that the 
database server needs to be installed ahead of time... though hopefully in 
the future this will be resolved when apt/aptitude/etc fully incorporate 
including Recommends by default (assuming your package Recommends the db 
servers in question)

otherwise, you probably ought to be able to set the variables in question in 
the config script before sourcing the shell library and calling dbc_go.  if 
you don't want to show the initial "use dbc?" question at all, you'll need to 
do real pre-seeding, but i would recommend against that.  maybe you could 
give a little more background on what you're doing?
