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.
