I was irritated by this also. But all the sources on the net say it has to be
with ::= like:

  http://www.microhowto.info/howto/perform_an_unattended_installation_of_a_debian_package.html
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/104899/make-apt-get-or-aptitude-run-with-y-but-not-prompt-for-replacement-of-configu

I guess the problem migth be related to the fact that I am trying to use it
with "install" while confdef/confnew/confold might be related to "ugrade".
