Package: needrestart Version: 0.6-1 Severity: important The default blacklist includes the gdm3 binary but that isn't enough for needrestart to not suggest restarting gdm3 (which kills user sessions). I would suggest adding service blacklists for sysvinit and systemd so that if the architecture of services changes those services are still not presented as needing restarts. Marking this as important since users might get their sessions killed and lose data as a result of this.
