The only workaround I found is to have an open terminal (type: Pythen Debug Terminal) in VS Code. It should show the python command behavior and output during debug. Bring the terminal into focus by clicking on it and press ctrl-C manually. This should stop the debugged program gracefully and your catching the SIGTERM or SIGINT will work.
