Bug Description

Hello, several of my friends were outright furious at needrestart today:

> installing 1 fucking package shouldnt restart every package on my fucking system
> welp. last straw for ubuntu.
> [...] the also annoying modal dialog asking you what to restart?

Can we please consider changes to needrestart's default configuration that only *reports* and does so kindly, gently, in the text interface, rather than the annoying modal dialog box?

Thanks
