Yeap, and that was actually requested and is expected/needed:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=463030

A "graceful" kill happens on SIGINT in apt/wheezy in the sense that we will
let dpkg finish whatever it does current (which can be quiet a lot) and stop
after that.

P.S.: I don't see why SIGHUP is misused for this by CouchDB …
