Ohh I see. So it's all about notification.

This is the only way you get a notification that some services need to be restarted following your unattended-upgrades, right? Otherwise you would get nothing as unattended-upgrades is not interactive...

As a single user with only interactive upgrades, I'm not sure needrestart-session is useful to me right now. needrestart is probably enough.
