Then (and only then) the build terminates. But surely when one is building a lot of packages automatically it is assumed that the building process does not need manual intervention. In fact, this is one of the reasons why interactive debian/rules are not allowed (see Policy 4.9). The debian/rules for signon-ui is not interactive, of course, but the end result is the same: package needs manual intervention during build. I don't think this should be allowed in a stable release, so I'm raising this to serious. To reproduce, please try to build this using sbuild and you will see the problem. Thanks.
