The message can not be shown only if the package is going to ask
questions as debconf would need to extract the questions beforehand (and
find none) for that to work – but it can't do that without apt-utils. :)
Not sure about the stderr vs. stdout, I guess the rational is that its
more important than the "normal" output. In any case, this is something
you will have to bring up with debconf… reassigning there (and resetting
status).

Title:
debconf: delaying package configuration, since apt-utils is not
installed
Status in debconf package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
The warning appears when installing apt-utils, with no way to silence
the message. If apt-utils is required in the base image, it should be
added there and not be a standalone package. This is a transcript from
Ubuntu 20.04.1:
$ LANG=C sudo apt install apt-utils
