The /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf symlink got dropped from the systemd package in version 256.4-1 following https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1076190 The package search also results no package containing that file in trixie. What package do I need to install to get the symlink? As far as I can see it is just gone. This seems to be specific to that config file and I think it should just be documented in the release notes. Anyone who changes kernel parameters in /etc/sysctl.conf instead of following the modern systemd way of using /etc/sysctl.conf.d/ will have their changes silently dropped by the upgrade.
