You could at least add in the default my.cnf a section for the feedback 
plugin or create a specific config file on the /etc/mysql/conf.d/ directory.

Having a dialog is not a real issue for automated install as running the 
package installation in non interactive mode would keep the default 
value (off) and as the dialog wouldnt be showed on upgrade, only on 
first installation and it still can be pre-configured using 
debconf-set-selections.
