Title:
  needrestart terminates itself on updates

Status in needrestart package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in needrestart source package in Noble:
  New
Status in needrestart source package in Oracular:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This is an expansion on bug 2059337. There's likely a fair number of
  custom services out there that are similar in nature to cloud-init,
  unattended-upgrade and the likes. Rather than forcing every user to
  track down and debug this issue, needrestart should instead have some
  sort of "self-preservation instinct" and exclude itself from the
  default restart list.

  While this issue isn't particularly new, it has become much more
  urgent in Noble onwards as we've modified it to default to silently
  restarting services.
