Paul,
Yes, there is a useful utility in RHEL distros called 'needs-restarting'
that is in the 'yum-utils' package. The analog in Ubuntu is to look in
the /var/run directory and look for things named 'reboot-required,'
specifically the file 'reboot-required.pkgs'. I even wrote a Nagios
test to look for /var/run/reboot-required.

As previously noted, I've got some issues with my current Linux desktop
/ home media server. I had been going with a Ubuntu based distro because
I used to use MythTV, and there used to be Mythbuntu that had it largely
ready to go. (FYI once you had MythTV working, there were many posts
telling of woes if you ever upgraded.)
Now that I'm looking at doing a fresh install, and no longer use MythTV,
I don't think there is any influence to remain with a Ubuntu based distro.

I've been thinking about going back to an RPM based distro might be
nice, because apt can't tell you what processes need to be restarted
after a lib update. Though I do appreciate the Ubuntu LTS system where
I'm not forced to upgrade every couple of years to continue getting
updates. (And have no experience with rolling upgrade systems, e.g.
Tumbleweed from openSUSE which was new before I got into MythTV.)
Anyone care to share their thoughts on the current distro landscape?
