This at least requires more thought....

In my case....  It would seem that root's report includes all processes
that would need a "restart" while the user's report is a subset of those
currently running under the UID.

Maybe we need to compare what packages were updated?

FWIW, I feel the output I'm seeing is "correct".  So, I don't know that
I've anything to BZ.
