Actually, the policy explicitly allows this:
| The maintainer scripts are guaranteed to run with a controlling terminal
| and can interact with the user. If they need to prompt for passwords, do
| full-screen interaction or something similar you should do these things
| to and from /dev/tty, [...]
[Debian Policy 3.6.2.1, section 6.3]
This should probably changed a bit to reference 3.10.1, which says that
all means to prompt the user besides debconf are deprecated.
