New connections are blocked and there's 30 seconds to give existing connections a chance to gracefully complete. The daemon is then stopped while the packages upgrade, then it's restarted. I think it's been handled like that for a while, although my memory is a little fuzzy since I hadn't upgraded in the last 6 months.

Well if your tor instance started again automatically after the upgrade then you didn't experience the same problem as I did, because it did NOT restart it simply stopped without starting again at all.

I expected it to restart (as it did during previous updates).
