This only handles HUP, INT, PIPE, TERM -- signals that I would expect do 
not indicate a problem in the package itself in most of the cases, and 
that I *do* want to abort the package build for (like the user pressing 
Ctrl-C).

Things like SEGV, BUS, FPE are probably more along the line of "unexpected."

That handler does not terminate dpkg-buildpackage, and does not stop the 
build. For some signals, I believe it should.
