Should a package restart on upgrade itself

And this is another problem. Poudriere always rebuild whole dependency 
chain but if package version stays the same then pkg upgrade will not 
upgrade all packages in chain but just the one with different version 
number.
If OpenSSL was upgraded but Apache (depending on OpenSSL from ports) was 
not upgraded it is hard to say "restart Apache" from some pkg magick. So 
again sysadmin must know what and when to restart.
