Shouldn't the EULA be displayed, and allow users to accept it, in *any* debconf front end, not just the GNOME one? Why require one specific front end in order to install a particular package? This seems really odd, the whole idea of multiple front ends is that they allow debconf user interaction in a variety of different UI and desktop environments, isn't it?

Secondly, if the debconf gnome front end requires libgtk2-perl, then (per the usual way Debian/Ubuntu packaging works) it should use a Depends: line to specify that, not rely on other packages causing libgtk2-perl to be already present. So I think this aspect of the issue would be a packaging bug in the debconf gnome front end, rather than in lubuntu-meta.
