piterpunk f8dfb7722f File to flag if the system needs restart
Creates /var/run/needs_restarting file if any "critical" package got
upgraded. As the /var/run/ is ephemeral and renewed each boot, the
file disappears after reboot.

The packages that flags the restart need are:

- kernel-generic, kernel-huge: as a new kernel needs a restart to be
  running.
- glibc, glibc-solibs: Restart is the only way to be sure that all
  running binaries are using the new glibc.
- eudev, elogind, dbus: those provides some very basic system
  services.
- openssl, openssl-solibs: security bugs on those libs are dangerous,
  the reboot makes sure that all running binaries are using the newer
  version.
