I forget the details. > https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=run%2Freboot-required All packages in the returned list (below) which touch /var/run/reboot-required in their maintainer scripts do so in postinst after successful configuration. dbus gnome-shell unattended-upgrades (for the kernel) Other packages (e.g. kubernetes, cloud-init) touch /var/run/reboot-required. (Kubernetes updates /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs.) Many clearly look to the existence of /var/run/reboot-required to notify the user of a required reboot.
