How do I manually acknowledge the "System restart required" indicator?

[Luis]

I'd say check under

/var/lib/update-notifier/

And delete the text file that tells it that something (not just a
kernel) that needs the system to be rebooted was installed. A good
example of a non-kernel package that would do this is any fglrx (ATI)
driver. Or any other module to the kernel for that matter. (Yes,
modules are supposed to work by simply modprobe'ing them, but in
practice you almost always need to reboot. Why take a chance).

In your case what you want is to be able to "restart later". This
option is part of Edgy now.
