Thanks.
I already have Automatic-Reboot set, and it correctly causes reboot 
after for instance kernel upgrades.
I do not have Automatic-Reboot-WithUsers set, since I did not imagine it 
would make a difference when there actually are no users logged in.
But I'll try setting it also and see if that somehow makes a difference.
