Public bug reported:

Hi,
there was no new version tagged for about two years now.
But plenty of fixes that are IMHO important for Jammy have piled up.
Especially since needrestart is installed and enabled by default I'd think this 
makes sense to not have too many people run into known issues that we then have 
to SRU.

Feel free to have your own look at the commits since v3.5 - there are not too 
many IMHO:
- https://github.com/liske/needrestart/commits/master

In that list are a lot of non-important but also not bad things like fixing 
typos and updating changelogs as well as license information.
But there are also quite a list of things I'd think we want for Jammy, those 
are:

Fixes:
- fix dysfunctional config option https://github.com/liske/needrestart/pull/197
- avoid breaking bluetooth https://github.com/liske/needrestart/pull/209
- avoid parsing filed not meant to be used 
https://github.com/liske/needrestart/pull/200

Jammy compatibility
- work with new LXD
  - https://github.com/liske/needrestart/pull/188
  - https://github.com/liske/needrestart/pull/215
- compatibility with cgroup v2 (now default)
  - https://github.com/liske/needrestart/pull/238
  - https://github.com/liske/needrestart/pull/234

Useful features several people always wanted
- VM detection https://github.com/liske/needrestart/pull/216

I'm proposing to update needrestart to master
(https://github.com/liske/needrestart/commits/master) and for that would
want the ack of the release team (for the FFe) and if possible also the
Foundations-team POV ack as they officially own the package.
