The needrestart package has some sophisticated logic to detect whether the system needs to be booted to get an updated microcode applied (needrestart -w is how it can be invoked directly to report on microcode status). The needrestart package is a bit much to be included as a dependency or even a recommends for the intel-microcode package, but re- using some of the logic might be appropriate.
