Well, we're not in the world of needrestart just yet, it's only seeded in

Title:
  Spurious reboot notifications caused by libssl upgrades.

Status in openssl package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The postinst script for libssl0.9.8 currently has a bug where it sends
  a reboot notifcation whenever libssl is configured.  So reconfiguring
  libssl0.9.8 or even just installing libssl0.9.8 will result in a
  reboot notification.  Sending of the reboot notification should
  definitely be moved inside the upgrading guard.  The correct fix is
  likely to move it inside a version comparison guard for particular
  important updates like Colin suggests below -- this is what every
  other standard package using notify-reboot-required does.
