You can skip answering my questions if you want. I will assume that you now know exactly what to do to solve your problem.
If you would like my help in making your script do what you want, you need to answer my questions so I can figure out what you are trying to do. Since your requirements have changed, answer the questions I asked before with respect to your new requirements.
If you have changed your script to meet your new requirements, show us your new script (using CODE tags).

dpkg-preconfigure
DPKG-PRECONFIGURE(8) Debconf DPKG-PRECONFIGURE(8)
NAME
dpkg-preconfigure - let packages ask questions prior to their installation
SYNOPSIS
dpkg-preconfigure [options] package.deb
dpkg-preconfigure --apt
DESCRIPTION
dpkg-preconfigure lets packages ask questions before they are installed. It operates on a set of debian packages, and all packages that
use debconf will have their config script run so they can examine the system and ask questions.
OPTIONS
-ftype, --frontend=type
Select the frontend to use.
-pvalue, --priority=value
Set the lowest priority of questions you are interested in. Any questions with a priority below the selected priority will be ignored
and their default answers will be used.
--terse
Enables terse output mode. This affects only some frontends.
--apt
Run in apt mode. It will expect to read a set of package filenames from stdin, rather than getting them as parameters. Typically this
is used to make apt run dpkg-preconfigure on all packages before they are installed. To do this, add something like this to
/etc/apt/apt.conf:
// Pre-configure all packages before
// they are installed.
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {
"dpkg-preconfigure --apt --priority=low";
};
-h, --help
Display usage help.
