I just ran it, here's the output:

Found 22 processes using old versions of upgraded files
(15 distinct programs)
(14 distinct packages)

Of these, 10 seem to contain init scripts which can be used to restart them:
The following packages seem to have init scripts that could be used
to restart them:
sys-apps/smartmontools:
        5082    /usr/sbin/smartd
sys-auth/consolekit:
        4384    /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon
app-text/dictd:
        4834    /usr/sbin/dictd
sys-fs/mdadm:

These are the init scripts:

These processes do not seem to have an associated init script to restart them:
