retitle 265554 reportbug: on receiving SIGTERM, should also signal child
processes

thanks
Steps to reproduce:
* Start a shell session, 'shell M', to monitor the process.
* Start a shell session, 'shell R', to run 'reportbug'.
* In 'shell M':
* Start e.g. 'htop' to watch processes.
* In 'shell R':
* Start 'reportbug' with a specific MUA. e.g.:
reportbug --mua 'mutt' \
--severity normal --tag "none" --package-version "0.0" \
--subject "foo: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet." \
--no-query-bts --no-check-available --no-check-installed
foo
* The MUA should be invoked; in the above example, Mutt will be
started as a child process of 'reportbug'.
* In 'shell M':
* Confirm that the 'reportbug' process has the MUA process as a
child.
* Send a TERM signal to the 'reportbug' process.
* The 'reportbug' process will end; the MUA process will continue,
still bound to the controlling terminal.
