Bug description:
  Expected behaviour: no unnecessary prompts during do-release-upgrade
  Actual behaviour: needrestart prompts during do-release-upgrade

  Steps to reproduce:
  lxc launch ubuntu:impish reproducer
  lxc exec reproducer bash
  apt-get update && apt-get -y upgrade  # needrestart prompts, but that's expected
  do-release-upgrade -d  # needrestart prompts in the middle of this, and that's unexpected

  do-release-upgrade recommends a system reboot after the upgrade is
  complete. So it's unnecessary to run needrestart and prompt the user
  for restarts while the upgrade is running.
