For security reasons, many sceurity tools including lynis recommend
to install needrestart package in order to automatically restart
services if some have been upgraded.

On the copmmand line, you are prompted to select or acknowledfge
services that should be restarted. So you need to enter some
keyboard input for at-get (dist-)upgrade to finish.

Plasma disco\xe7ver does not cope with this.
On PackageKit frontends, all transactions should be noninteractive, so
they shouldn't interrupt the process to ask for stuff.
One exception that we allow for compatibility is Debconf questions.
So, if needrestart uses Debconf, this is a bug in plasma-discover and
Discover should implement the Debconf frontend properly. If however
needrestart doesn't use Debconf, this issue is "won't fix".
 From a quick look at the code, the former appears to be the case.

Visually it looks like debconf questions with selectable list and grey and blue layout. But I did not look at the code. BTW : the fcat that by default it select packages as dist-upgrade would is also problematic. Can this be configured?
