thanks for this tool, that is indeed very helpful.

Maybe it is a good idea if pkg collects the information from each
package what should be restarted if:

HANDLE_RC_SCRIPTS = true;

is set.
In this case it is the responsibility of the package maintainer to mark which service should be started if it was upgraded.
And then do a single bulk restart operation at the end of the complete upgrade.
