[Bug 1045704] Re: should clean pkgcache.bin.* and srcpkgcache.bin.*

[Julian Andres Klode]

Rsync does the signal handler solution, which seems to be the best
option. If we receive SIGINT, SIGHUP, or SIGTERM, we should remove all
temporary files we created. If we only have one temporary file at a
time, the solution is relatively easy (a global variable), if we have
multiple temporary files, we need to have a global list of items.
