No, this is working as intended, the flag description is just up for misinterpretation. Also I interpret "Avoid confirmation" (what you wrote) and "Avoid auto-confirmation" (what pacstrap documents) to be very different.

It'd be nicer if this just said something like: "make package selection interactive".

I see your point. and I agree with you, the comment should be what you wrote then it all makes sense.
