[chef] How to handle dialogs in apt-get

[aserdp < >]

Hello, 
  I am a novice with chef and just started to get a feel of this wonderful
platform called chef.  I think like many others I have started with chef-solo
and got some roles and chef cookbooks done. basically played with it.

I now am faced with a situation. How to handle the question posed via a dialog
box  during installation of a package using apt-get. Examples could be when 
you
install rsyslog-mysql on ubuntu 10.04, it wil ask if the database required by
rsyslog-mysql should be configured using db-config and if you press yes, it
will ask for the root password and then will ask for a new password and 
confirm
password for a new mysql user called rsyslog.

ANy help or direction will be highly appreciated.

regards
