Yes.

For me it works as it should:

% which axiom
/usr/bin/axiom
% axiom -noclef

   Please enter y or yes if you really want to leave the interactive 
      environment and return to the operating system:
y

So it seems it is a problem with axiom. If you are sure that the
behaviour of axiom is not due to your local configuration I will
reassign the bug to the axiom package.

Of course. I just was in doubt whether you were using the debian
