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...
