Rather than tell you how to do it, it ought to ask you whether its
allowed to do what it needs to.  i.e. Tell you that it needs to restart
the following listed services, and you'd allow or defer it.

And if there was a mixture, such as restarting Apache, re-logging to
apply things to pertaining to your desktop, and rebooting for a new
kernel.  You'd individually authorise each step, skip any you want to
defer, or just go for a reboot to avoid typing in "y" a dozen times.

It's the computer, not you, let it do the damn work.
