It's quite certain that about nobody know about debian-goodies or

The Securing Debian Manual recommends it, so hopefully you’re wrong.

I agree that certainly most people do not know about it.  And it's
almost certain that most casual users do not.  I'm a long time Debian
user and I didn't know about it.

I think the original point raised in this thread is a good one.  There
should be a more unified and automated way for the system to know that
restart are needed in order for security fixes take affect.  Admins
should have to manually run obscure scripts to check things like that.

jamie.

Yes, thank you for the correction.  I definitely meant that they should
*not* have to manually run obscure scripts...

The needrestart package from jessie with package defaults appears to run
automatically and suggest, but not automatically perform, necessary
service restarts.

 Package: php-cas
 CVE ID : CVE-2014-4172
 Debian Bug : 759718

 Marvin S. Addison discovered that Jasig phpCAS, a PHP library for the
 CAS authentication protocol, did not encode tickets before adding them
 to an URL, creating a possibility for cross site scripting.

 For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
 version 1.3.1-4+deb7u1.

 The unstable distribution (sid) will be fixed soon.

 We recommend that you upgrade your php-cas packages.

This package is Priority: optional, and therefore not installed by
default.  What about just making it important or required?

The output might be a bit terse, but the above ids are known elsewhere,
check the references in the tracker. The second part indicates the status
of that id in the tracker at the moment the script was run.
