I'm not addressed here, nor have I run unattended, nor used
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive, but I would assume that
any need to restart will get logged. Seems likely.
However, you might overlook the logs, so you might still
miss something. Isn't that just what needrestart's
interaction is for: so you can't miss it? I guess it's
time to decide.
