This is a bug in the code, it looks like this is a regression caused
by setting the termios rtt var via "rtt.c_lflag |= ISIG". This fixed
making it possible to background dpkg, but apparently it broke
ctrl-c. Which is odd given that the documentation says that is is used
to enable signals.

Cheers,
