There is already such a tool available in the archive called "needrestart". It does the mapping of processes to systemd services and offers to restart those services after an upgrade (via a dpkg/apt hook). So it already does exactly what I was describing. This should solve exactly what you're looking for. I've been running needrestart for a while now and really like it. You should give it a try. I agree with Marco, this is not something which needs to be solved on the systemd package level.
