Adding a somewhat idle comment to this thread,
I once had a spirited discussion with a Debian developer (Phil Hands).
He sang the praises of dpkg which is claimed to always restart services
such as sshd following an update, versus rpm which does as you describe.
I guess he was right.
To be fair, its not the actual mechanics of rpm versus dpkg, more
Debian's rigid adherence to the rules.
(Did i really just praise Debian over the right and natural way of RPM
based distros? Need that first coffee of the morning to bring reality
back into focus).
