ACK, the initial idea was to make a package which integrates into
apt/dpkg to handle service restart. Currently you have to use
checkrestart to get a detailed list but I agree with your (and Paul's)
suggestion.

Nope, the main idea was to restart affected services. After
needrestart's detection has become more advanced I agree that this
would be a usefull additional feature...

...but it is not a important nor a security bug IMHO. I've merged this
bug with #762896.
