This seems a reasonable request.  Is it possible?

Package: postgresql
Version: 7.4.3-1
Severity: important

The postgres daemon ignores SIGPIPE. This makes it impossible to cancel
queries if the client is not able to issue a cancel command, like the
perl and python bindings.

The code contains a signal handler for SIGINT which cancels the actual
query, so I see no problem to have SIGPIPE behave the same way.
