+Kernel system variables configuration files
+
+Files found under the /etc/sysctl.d directory that end with .conf are
+parsed within sysctl(8) at boot time. If you want to set kernel variables
+you can either edit /etc/sysctl.conf or make a new file.
+
+The filename isn't important, but don't make it a package name as it may clash
+with something the package builder needs later. It must end with .conf though.
+
+My personal preference would be for local system settings to go into
+/etc/sysctl.d/local.conf but as long as you follow the rules for the names
+of the file, anything will work. See sysctl.conf(8) man page for details
+of the format.
+
+After making any changes, please run "service procps force-reload" (or, from
+a Debian package maintainer script "deb-systemd-invoke restart procps.service").
