Is there some configuration option or other method to make apt or zypper or dnf or urpmi not want to discard my tdmrc customizations with each upgrade to a new minor release, so that the question doesn't get asked, and the process wait for a keyboard response?

I usually make copies of both the originals and my own customizations, then keep backups in a safe location. If it gets changed, or on new installations, I just overwrite the file with my own customized version. There are a number of these ~rc files for which I make such backups.
Also you might check permissions, to make sure that only root gets rw privileges, and other users are read-only. By the way, I don't experience that problem when I upgrade.
Redoing those same config files is wasted effort; once you get it how you want, just keep overwriting from your backup versions.

apt-get upgrade --assume-no
But that's not qute fine tunable.
