Regarding needrestart per-se: Dan, I pushed a new version of needrestart
to hirsute including a sanity-test autopkgtest - could you take a look
if that is good enough? One note: currently the test is failing on armhf
(but not blocking, as this was the first time it ran). The reason for
that is that apparently kernel checking does not work on armhf right
now. Basically what is happening is that needrestart is skipping kernel
checks, which is something the test does not expect.

I was thinking of making the test skip the kernel checks if they cannot
be performed, but then again I think this might be an actual regression
in the current needrestart version. Which makes me think if maybe we
should leave it as is and simply report it upstream - because I don't
see this mentioned as a 'known issue'. I see Debian had a bug for armhf
kernel detection not working in 2015 [1], but this seemed to be fixed in
2016 with needrestart 1.8. So I'd expect armhf having full
functionality.

Anyway, right now needrestart has migrated to release. I'll send a bug
report to Debian about armhf and forward the autopkgtest, if you're fine
with how it looks right now. Do you think if I can promote all the
things to main now? Thanks!
