(Get the code!)
Hmm, I'm still experiencing gdm restarts during some upgrades; the last one was today, when upgrading from gdm 2.28.0-0ubuntu14 to gdm 2.28.0-0ubuntu17. I believe the HUP from the postinst file could be causing this, but as I don't want to reboot my computer again, I shrink from trying it:
PID=$(status "gdm" 2>/dev/null | awk '/[0-9]$/ { print $NF }')
[ -z "$PID" ] || kill -HUP $PID
What makes this even worse is that after gdm is restarted, neither the mouse nor the keyboard are working anymore. The only escape is rebooting the computer via Alt+SysRq+RSEIUB.
