Isn't that was needrestart can do now as well?


At least I'd suggest that such functionality would be rather added to
needrestart and not something new be implemented.

Ideally, needrestart should in the long-run become default in Debian,...
it should replace the current practise of packages restarting their
services themselves in the maintainer-scripts unconditionally (i.e. even
it there wouldn't be strict need to do so from the technical side).

And also, in the longterm needrestart could provide some interface to
general notification systems.


Cheers,
Chris.
