Comment 10 for bug 256025

I'm partially confused by this bug. I wound up here in the process of filing Bug #292470. It's my observation that in Intrepid final, procps sources /etc/sysctl.conf *first*, which means it is being overridden by /etc/sysctl.d. This is the behavior desired by the requester of this bug, but the bug is not marked Fixed.

With that said, I agree with the latter posters here that sysctl.conf should be processed last, giving it the override, and that Ubuntu default configs should be moved to sysctl.d. I disagree with the initial request in this bug to make sysctl.d authoritative (Even though it currently is. Even though this bug is open and the README is wrong).
