Bug#458270: pbuilder: handle Ctrl+C elegantly

[Paul Wise]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.177
Severity: wishlist

Currently when I do Ctrl+C in pbuilder it kills pbuilder and goes back
to a normal shell. It would be nice if the Ctrl+C were to be sent to the
foreground process running within the chroot. I have a habit of using
Ctrl+C within bash (in a shell hook) to clear the current command when I
type the wrong thing. The same happens when aptitude is installing
packages, but it should instead kill aptitude and gracefully shutdown
pbuilder and remove the chroot. Currently when you do Ctrl+C from a
cowdancer-based pdebuild it leaves the chroot in the pbuilder cache
directory: /var/cache/pbuilder/build/
