Please suggest us the proper way to switch from automatically
restarting all service (current behavior) to individual question (your
request).
To be honest, even if such switch is provided, I don't know whether it
is widely used or not.
After you submitted this bug report, we improve the messages. The
current glibc 2.3.2.ds1-13 has more detailed information; we ask to
user which service would be restarted. So I believe the current one
is sufficient, and I think you can compromise it. If user want to
manipulate each start-stop, then user select "not to execute
start-stop" while the libc6 upgrade, according to the messages.
Please look at the latest glibc. If you have no objection, I'll close
bug. If you have excellent idea, please let us know. However I may
not accept your idea unless it's greatly wonderful, because sarge is
getting closer.
