Comment(by kaduk):
It came up in the context of someone considering running auto-update on a
dialup; the maintainer would want to know that a package had requested a
reboot but would not be logged in at a graphical head to get a popup
notification. Such a maintainer might not want to allow for automatic
reboots for any number of reasons, I suppose.
Anyway, the answer may well be "don't do that", but I wanted to see what
other people think.
