edited conffile updates ask the user if they want to use the updated version or not. it doesn't use debconf, dunno why. e.g. edit /etc/xdg/kdebugrc in some way then install packages at http://weegie.edinburghlinux.co.uk/~jr/tmp/kdelibs4support/ you'll be asked if you want to use the package version or keep your one etc
however I'm not sure if this is what the bug report is asking, I don't know how opera asks for updates
Discover is moving towards using PackageKit as its only backend, so it supports only whatever PackageKit does.
Discover uses Kirigami pop-ups to display questions requiring input from the user, but currently has no feature for automatically doing one thing or the other in the future.
There are many cases where automatically choosing one option or the other for the user would be dangerous, e.g. the confirmation pop-up when removing packages. The user really needs to read the list, or else the whole user experience needs to be re-done so it's impossible to accidentally remove other things you want to keep when deleting an app.

Is there already or can we add a mechanism in settings to always answer questions y/n automatically or at least show popup to manually confirm?
