That would be why I did not do it in the Debian package (yet). It is
hard to make it fool-proof, and it will be really annoying [to the user]
if the package triggers unnecessary reboots (which will be the *rule* on
older processors that rarely get updates).
If you have good ideas on how to do it, I am listening...
