I believe this is a wrong layer for proposed functionality -- apt-get (libapt) is not the only high-level package manager for Debian. If I were you, I'd look into dpkg file triggers instead. Triggers will by the way automatically solve the problem that you don't restart a service 5 times if 5 libraries were upgraded. -- Eugene V.
