Remember that Linux distros like Debian have integrated package
management. That means there is no “hope for the best” -- it knows exactly
what is currently there, what needs to be removed, what needs to be
updated, and what needs to be added.

Tell that to LP/FR/NV/whatever who can't update a simple tool like
Midnight Commander without breaking it.

This is why you don’t even need to do a reboot if it is sufficient to
simply stop and start the affected services.

It's not that right. I don't reboot after most of my updates, but when
the kernel is updated, without a reboot, some things, like plugging an
usb device, don't work. Maybe I would be able to fix it without a reboot,
but the reboot is faster than any time I would need to investigate. So
for me, the best way is to refuse updates, if they include the kernel
updates, before shutting down my computer.
