launchpad
https://code.launchpad.net/~jelmer/launchpad/637507-subprocess-sigpipe/+merge/37940
Written in Python but the Python fix would have been backwards-

notable because launchpad wants to run dpkg-source -x and motivation
in the bug report suggests that dpkg-source -x can break sometimes
with SIGPIPE ignored.
