I asked Kel why these scripts have to be considered interactive and he 
answered that this is due to #534711.  When the scripts are executed in 
parallel mode, then /proc/self/fd/0 (and /proc/self/fd/2 which is used 
by console-setup) are redirected to /dev/pts/?.  Because of this the 
scripts think they are not executed on the console and refuse to 
configure the console.  I wonder if there is some other method to check 
whether we are on the console or not...
