We restart (in buster) all systemd components besides logind:
https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/commit/b8c239e122ef193c6aab1c65ab1c6d2b598de3d7

logind nowadays supports being restarted
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/aed24c4cd7641da6f530853d10637568c13c8f35

So the remaining bit is that Xorg no longer aborts on logind restarts
See
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=798097
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/issues/531

Once that is fixed in xserver-xorg, I would rather restart logind on
upgrades then requesting a reboot. So re-purposing the bug report
accordingly.
It's a bit sad that #798097 is still unfixed, but I'm not sure what I
can do to move this issue forward.

Regards,
Michael
