But I normally don't restart for weeks. That would make a reboot an extremely
long process.
Perhaps we should just change dpkg to have a flag that prevents upgrade if the
process is running, and that shows some warning that tells to restart software
X to avoid problems.
I suppose package maintainers should be aware if their package can be upgraded
while running or not.
