You can always use the "needs-restarting" script to see what you
need to restart.

[Someone suggested "lsof | grep DEL | grep /usr" as an alternative.
I haven't used that approach or compared it to "needs-restarting" so
don't know exactly which is a better approach.]

With an update from one point release to another I would think that
you'd have a rather unstable system until you do a reboot.
