On LXC user being prompted to reboot? #1894

I just noticed that when an LXC (e.g. Proxmox) user elects to install sec updates on firstboot, if core packages are updated, the inithooks show a message that says:

┌──────────────────────Reboot now?─────────────────────────┐
│                                                          │  
│ A security update to the kernel requires a reboot to go  │  
│ into effect.                                             │  
│                                                          │  
│ For maximum protection, we recommend rebooting now.      │  
│                                                          │  
├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤  
│               <Reboot>        < Skip >                   │  
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ 

Whilst a reboot may legitimately be a good thing (e.g. if core libraries are upgraded) - the note about a kernel update is errant (LXC containers don't include a kernel!).
