On Ubuntu 14.04 this bug still persists. Is there any reason why libssl would require different treatment than other libraries? I.e. why wouldn't it suffice to restart services depending on libssl or libcrypto?

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.
