This happened to me upgrading Kubuntu 10.04 to 10.10.

After Distribution Upgrade updated a bunch of packages, it prompted me
to restart the computer, I delayed responding, but there was a long
progress bar waiting for my input.

Instead Distribution Upgrade continued to the step where it asked me whether to 
"Remove obsolete packages".

It was really weird.  I don't see any lines about restart or reboot in
/var/log/dpkg.log , and I don't know where dist-upgrade keeps its logs,
if anywhere.  At some point in the upgrade I noticed there was a /var
/reboot-required and /var/reboot-required-files (? I think), I think the
latter had three packages in it; alas they are gone now I've
successfully updated and restarted.
