ACK. A inline help has been added upstream:
Restart accounts-daemon.service? [Ynas?] ?
Yes - restart this service
No - do not restart this service
Auto - auto restart all remaining services
Stop - stop restarting services

The query is case insensitive. I've decided to drop "all" completely -
"auto" sounds more usefull.
