oracle-ppa:
  pkgrepo.managed:
    - humanname: WebUpd8 Oracle Java PPA repository
    - ppa: webupd8team/java

oracle-license-select:
  cmd.run:
    - unless: which java
    - name: '/bin/echo /usr/bin/debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | /usr/bin/debconf-set-selections'
    - require_in:
      - pkg: oracle-java7-installer
      - cmd: oracle-license-seen-lie

oracle-license-seen-lie:
  cmd.run:
    - name: '/bin/echo /usr/bin/debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 seen true  | /usr/bin/debconf-set-selections'
    - require_in:
      - pkg: oracle-java7-installer

oracle-java7-installer:
  pkg:
    - installed
    - require:
      - pkgrepo: oracle-ppa

In my case keyserver has been unavailable so I've used - keyserver: hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 which seems to got a problem fixed.

You might want to consider using prereq, so the debconf selects only run when pkg.installed is triggered, e.g.
