Sorry I didn't get to this earlier - it sort of got lost in my inbox.

In general, the idea is a good one, but the implementation is, well,
that way lies madness :)

Imagine having to figure out all of the services running on a machine
that use a given library and restart them all.  It is technically
possible of course, but it is non-trivial.

In this particulare case, I also feel it's mostly a no-op, since the
packages for the daemons are also upgraded at the same time, in the most
common case, so it should take care of itself.

Take care,
