Package: needrestart
Version: 3.7-3.1
The new needrestart offers to restart the LXC containers it has found
somehow, but then it fails for a more complex scenario. Sample session:

Pending kernel upgrade!
Running kernel version:
6.10.11+bpo-amd64
Diagnostics:
The currently running kernel version is not the expected kernel version
6.11.5+bpo-amd64.
Restarting the system to load the new kernel will not be handled automatically,
so you should consider rebooting.
[Return]
The processor microcode seems to be up-to-date.

Without knowing(!) the path of the container config files restarting the
LXC containers is dangerous. Its easy to start a second instance by
accident, or to fail, as shown above.
A wild guess, /var/lib/lxc/name/config must be the right file, if it exists,
would be fatal. needrestart has to obtain the path to the right, unmodified
config file path from LXC, if the container is already running.
