Renaming -r from --no-restart-on-upgrade to --no-stop-on-upgrade would
make it clearer what this flag does. According to codesearch we have 41
packages using --no-restart-on-upgrade. So it looks feasible to get
affected packages updated to replace --no-restart-on-upgrade, which
means it could be deprecated and eventually dropped from debhelper
