Restart check

[icedterminal]

After every use of the update feature, it prompts for reboot. Instead of always prompting, why not have a check in place to determine if a reboot is necessary? I know on Debian you can check with cat /var/run/reboot-required. If this file exists, reboot. If it doesn't exist, no need to reboot. Could this feature be included?

Yes, we actually want to include support for Debian's needrestart (not just the reboot-required flag). It's also tracked in #15267 , but needs someone to find time to implement it. Contributions welcome, of course!
