rpm can do that, if you run it from the command line.  If you use a 
graphical tool to install/update packages, this information is not printed.

But when you update 389-ds-base, rpm will upgrade and restart the 
servers for you (if they were running when you did the upgrade).

I'd like to find out what is the problem with the way it is done now, 
and the motivation (i.e. what is the problem that you are attempting to 
solve).
