I would prefere needrestart to work with any of debconf's frontends.
I'll review the usage of debconf in needrestart and try to make it

I do not prefere to depend on any non critical packages. Dialog or
whiptail might be recommended, but needrestart needs to work w/o them.

I'll drop the version number... I'm wondering why I've included it at all.
Thanks for reporting!
