Package: linkchecker
Version: 4.8-1
Severity: wishlist

When running a basic check like

    linkchecker --no-status -r1 http://www.debian.org/index.html

once it's gotten into the checking, pressing ^C for SIGINT doesn't kill
it but instead prints things like

    WARNING keyboard interrupt; waiting for active threads to finish
    ...
    WARNING shutdown in progress
    INFO These URLs are still active:
    ...

It'd be nice if sigint meant die immediately, without waiting or
timing-out on network responses from whatever urls are in progress.
Or if that wait is supposed to be a feature, then at least die
immediately on a second or third sigint.  I find myself forever going ^Z
and kill (ie. SIGTERM) to stop when I realize I have to fix something
before doing any more checks.
