Yes, it is common.  For sugar-artwork, this pull request is in
progress;

https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-artwork/pull/114

However at the moment it stalls the build by reading from terminal,
because the lone "-" means read from stdin yet stdin is not
redirected.

You may contribute to the pull request with changes or test results.
