This is fixed in R. The redesigned Software Updater tells you in advance
if any of the selected updates have flagged that they will need a
restart to finish installing. And if you expand the dialog to reveal the
list of updates, it contains a column with an icon for exactly which
updates require a restart. If any update requires a restart but does not
tell you in advance, please report a bug on that package and tag it "xb-
restart-required". <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag
=xb-restart-required>
If you don't want updates ever to require a restart to finish
installing, then work to get KSplice or equivalent integrated into every
kernel, glibc, and similar Ubuntu update. It isn't a "Windows ... clone"
thing, it's an operating system architecture thing.
