As you stated correctly, it asks a debconf question - so you need to answer it.
The proper way to do this in FAI is debconf preseeding. You achieve this by
adding something like

sun-java5-bin   shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1    boolean true
sun-java5-jdk   shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1    boolean true
sun-java5-jre   shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1    boolean true

to debconf/DEFAULT in your FAI config space. That's all.

Best,
Michael
