Hey Alkis, thanks for your bugreport and your analysis.
This looks like its indeed a problem in the communication for password
via debconf that may require additional privs.

Title:
Installation loops in db-config-common when ran from software-center

Bug description:
While installing phpmyadmin in Precise from the console, everything runs
perfectly.
But when installing from software center, the following debconf questions
don't appear:
(from debian/config):
if [ ! -f /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup ]; then
db_input low phpmyadmin/setup-username || true
db_input low phpmyadmin/setup-password || true
fi
This results in an endless loop, where a debconf dialog is presented
mentioning that the db configuration failed and asking for
abort/retry/retry (skip questions).
Maybe the solution is to increase the db_input priority?
