Cannot ^Z or ^C kill rcconf.
What is the logic for why these actions are not allowed?
Yes one can hit <cancel>, but that doesn't mean ^C is worse.

So then I did killall -1 rcconf from another window, which resulted in a
runaway whiptail process. Please reassign this bug if needed.

You must not use ^C to kill rcconf.
You use <cancel> to quit rcconf safely.

Or document why not on the man page/and or allow each package to
chose if they really want to not allow e.g., even ^Z.
