It would be nice if apt would provide a way, perhaps in doc/apt/examples, to 
disable
user-initiated reboots.  It would disable rebooting when starting and re-enable 
it at the end of the process.

I often upgrade machines while people are online.  However, sometimes they 
disconnect from IM and reboot their computers while I am doing an upgrade.  I'm 
afraid that it could make the system unbootable.

Of course the easy way is to message them to tell them to keep the computer on 
until I tell them I'm done.  But I was curious whether there was sometime that 
could be done automatically.

There seems to be quite a few things to disable to prevent reboots:

But on the other hand, the common case (GDM/KDM) would probably be enough.  It 
would be a good start at least.
