That would break tools that supervise the output of uscan and other tools, pass fake ttys to the tools and run multiple tools at the same time. For e.g. `check-all-the-things -j2` would have uscan waiting forever on that prompt. The existing uscan --safe option should be enough here though, no need for interactive input. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
