needrestart is not able to detect if restarting a service kills it's own
session (sshd is fine, kdm is not, ...). The default config does list
any services which should be restart - but restart of services known to
be destructive are not selected by default.

I'll add an override to needrestart.conf - are there more systemd
specific services known to be critical?
