Remember 10 years ago, flepied wanted us to restart services on glibc upgrade
for security concerns & b/c:

  # On upgrade the services doesn't work because libnss couldn't be
  # loaded anymore.

Over the time, only sshd remains.
Now that urpmi advices to reboot, we could skip that %post script bit
