I tested an upgrade from xenial to bionic today and did not receive a
conffile prompt regarding /etc/cron.daily/apt-compat and part of the
output you've pasted leads me to believe the file did not exist on the
system which you were upgrading. Have you run into this any more?
Additionally, I've sorted out the issue in ubuntu-release-upgrader for
Eoan. If you want it SRU'ed let us know.

Bug description:
I'm trying to do some automated testing that involved upgrading a
system from xenial to bionic, so I need it to not ask for user input.
Before running do-release-upgrade, the system got a fresh dist-upgrade
and reboot.
To avoid interactive responses, I'm using:
$ sudo do-release-upgrade -d -f DistUpgradeViewNonInteractive
Part way through the upgrade, I do get prompted for something though:
Preparing to unpack .../apt_1.6.3ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking apt (1.6.3ubuntu0.1) over (1.2.27) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.27-3ubuntu1) ...

What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
Comparing the sha1 of apt-compat before the upgrade to another xenial
system that has been unmodified, they are the same:
In /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log, I also found this:
2018-10-04 14:20:24,575 WARNING got a conffile-prompt from dpkg for file:
