The issue was reported for Plinth:
https://github.com/freedombox/Plinth/issues/627

I think it must be an issue for parted, because '--script' should never
prompt for user intervention, according to its man page.

I've updated the Disks manual to mention it:
https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Manual/Disks

If we find some work-around, we can add it there.
