Well, we are not running COPY in pg_upgrade, just the DDL commands.
Index creation is on empty tables, so it should be very quick. What
should basically happen is that the pg_restore child processes should
exit as forked children, and then the backends for these pg_restore
proceses should then exit. My guess is that this problem is not
pg_upgrade-specific as there is no signal control in pg_upgrade --- you
are just getting the defaults.
