but could it be a solution to ask the user in a pre-install step? Like: This update will change many things in the config and does this and that and some other bad things. It's recommended that the service FOO is restarted after update. Should I restart it for you? [Y,n]
I don't really see how this is needed. If a user updates package X which he knows is running a daemon, it's not hard to know whether or not it should be restarted. We should always assume the user is competant
