@mdeslaur: Again, thank you for your reply! Pardon my ignorance but I've
never quite understood why that is - why is an update of libssl
different from an update of other libs where you can simply restart the
depending applications/daemons? And why is it different on a desktop?
Maybe these questions require lengthy answers so if you could point me
in a direction where I read up on these questions I'd be very grateful.

Title:
  Spurious reboot notifications caused by libssl upgrades.

Status in “openssl” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The postinst script for libssl0.9.8 currently has a bug where it sends
  a reboot notifcation whenever libssl is configured.  So reconfiguring
  libssl0.9.8 or even just installing libssl0.9.8 will result in a
  reboot notification.  Sending of the reboot notification should
  definitely be moved inside the upgrading guard.  The correct fix is
  likely to move it inside a version comparison guard for particular
  important updates like Colin suggests below -- this is what every
  other standard package using notify-reboot-required does.
