Not sure if you want ;-)
-  trap "cleanup" 0 1 2 15
+  trap "cleanup" 0 HUP INT TERM

(BTW, these patches for numerical->symbolic names are the only ones
besides esides the *still* not included fix for texinfo bug #37823
displaced cursor on search!! that are not Debian specific in our
packages).

Actually I will drop this patch maybe.
I never wrote it, it was handed to me when I took over texinfo
long time ago... and I never changed it.

THere are several places where numerical signal names are replaced
by symbolic names.

The patch was there since 4.3 or so ;-) So a long time.
I guess you didn't recreate the man page after you made the change,
that is all. Anyway, I will simply drop any patch and see if it helps.

All the best
