As Dan Ritter <dsr@randomstring.org> already mentioned, you can
configure a failover DHCP server, usually a good idea anyway.
Why are you using Sid for production software? I know it's in
pre-release freeze. The general advice is to use only current released
stable for production.
And why are you waiting months to do an upgrade? That has security
implications you don't want. I upgrade all machines daily, even on
stable.
If you don't want to do it yourself, install unattended-upgrades. That
runs daily some time before 06:00, so even if it reboots, it shouldn't
affect most users.
