auto-expect would be your friend to do that in that if you feel that the console setup needs some of the manual steps involving tabs and scrolls. my own perception is that there if you are trying to install some application using text based client/console, then there will be a config for automatically accepting the licensing or disabling it for the sake of an installation.
in essence , you send any key from your keyboard using 'expect' that is possible when you type them, sequence only does matter.

setupcon

SETUPCON(1)						    Console-setup User's Manual 					       SETUPCON(1)

NAME

       setupcon - sets up the font and the keyboard on the console

SYNOPSIS

       setupcon [OPTION]... [VARIANT]

DESCRIPTION

       setupcon  is  a	program for fast and easy setup of the font and the keyboard on the console.  Most of the time you invoke setupcon without
       arguments.  The keyboard configuration is specified in ~/.keyboard or  /etc/default/keyboard.   The  font  configuration  is  specified	in
       ~/.console-setup  or  /etc/default/console-setup.   Consult  keyboard(5)  and  console-setup(5) for instructions how to configure these two
       files.

       If you have to switch often between different encodings, keyboards or languages, you can prepare several  alternative  configuration  files
       for setupcon.  Suppose that most of the time you will use Greek language with Greek keyboard layout, but sometimes you need to type in Ger-
       man with German keyboard layout.  In this situation you should customize the main configuration	files  (keyboard  and  console-setup)  for
       Greek.  Also, create alternative configuration files for German named keyboard.german and console-setup.german.	Then in order to configure
       the console for Greek you will simply run the command with no arguments: setupcon and in order to configure the console for German you will
       use setupcon german.

OPTIONS

       VARIANT
	      Specifies  which	configuration  file to use.  With no variant, the configuration files of setupcon are named console-setup and key-
	      board.  On the other hand, if you use e.g.  chukchi as VARIANT then the  configuration  files  are  console-setup.chukchi  and  key-
	      board.chukchi.   In this way you can have easy access to several different configurations - for example one for the Chukchi language
	      and another for the default configuration.

       -v, --verbose
	      Be more verbose.	 Use this option if something goes wrong or while experimenting with the configuration files.

       -k, --keyboard-only
	      Setup the keyboard only, do not setup the font or the terminal.  On Linux it is enough to do this configuration only once.

       -f, --font-only
	      Setup the font only, do not setup the keyboard or the terminal.  On Linux this configuration should be repeated each time a new con-
	      sole driver is activated (for example when the frame buffer becomes active).

       -t, --terminal-only
	      Setup the terminal only, do not setup the keyboard or the font.

       --current-tty
	      Setup the only the current virtual terminal.

       --force
	      Do  not  check  whether  we are on the console.  Notice that you can be forced to hard-reboot your computer if you run setupcon with
	      this option and the screen is controlled by a X server.

       --save This option can be useful if you want to use setupcon early in the boot process while /usr is not yet mounted and the required  data
	      are  not	available.   This option will make setupcon copy the required files in /etc/console-setup/ in order to make them available
	      before /usr is mounted.  If you use setupcon early in the boot process, then you should run it with this option after  every  change
	      of the console configuration.

       --save-only
	      The  same as --save, but does not setup anything.  This option can be useful if you want to save the required files while the screen
	      is controlled by a X server.

       --save-keyboard FILE
	      For use by initrd builders.  Do not configure anything.  Save an usable keyboard layout in FILE.

       --setup-dir DIR
	      For use by initrd builders.  Do not configure anything.  Arrange in the directory DIR everything necessary in order to configure the
	      console.	 The  file DIR/morefiles lists all binaries the initrd builder has to install in the initrd image.  All other files in DIR
	      have to be copied unchanged in the initrd.  In order to configure the console one has to run the script DIR/bin/setupcon.

       -h, --help
	      Display usage information.
