Just to recap some thoughts from the conversation cloud-init devs just
had:

- Automatically killing non-interactive processes may have far-reaching 
changes. It may leave many packages besides cloud-init exposed. Any service 
that calls `apt upgrade` etc non-interactively may get killed. How confident do 
we feel that we'll catch them all before the noble release?
- One possible workaround in needrestart for this issue would be to 
automatically include its own parent PID in the list of ignored processes.
- If we do decide to keep the needsrestart patch as-is, cloud-init should 
really include all of its own services in the ignore list - cloud-init is not a 
long-running process and never wants to be restarted.
