Comment:

 i setup needrestart everywhere, using a puppet module. it's currently in
 "interactive" mode, which means it will do nothing during automated
 upgrades and will prompt during manual ones. my hope is to use needrestart
 manually for a while to see if it works well and, when it does, deploy it
 automated everywhere.

 i also eventually want to run unattended-upgrades everywhere.

 between those two tools, we should get rid of 50-75% of the manual work
 involved here, the remaining being reboots. those could also be automated,
 if we find a way for the servers to coordinate among themselves.
