(Also Konstantinos' bug #251974.) The simplest way I can think of to do this would be to have the progress bar functions (i.e. db_progress <anything>) return some new error code in the 30-99 range if the cancel button was pressed since the last time a progress bar function was called. Then individual udebs can cope with that however they like, and will have the opportunity to clean up properly. As you suggest, a CAPB is needed to ensure that code that doesn't expect these extra return codes never gets them. If people like this idea, I hereby volunteer to implement it.
