Package: needrestart
Version: 0.9-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Needrestart sports a progress indicator in debconf while it tries to find
services that need a restart. However, this scanning for services is
most of the time very fast and the full repainting of the screen actually
costs more time than the scanning does. When an upgrade has no impact
on running services, it results in needless 'flashing' of the screen.

I would recommend to only output "Scanning processes..." on stdout
and load and invoke the whole debconf infrastructure only when there's
actual prompting to be done.


Cheers,
Thijs
