Package: procps
Version: 2:4.0.4-6
Severity: important
/etc/sysctl.conf is still listed as a conffile, and this can break
other tools.
For instance, this confuses "reportbug", which assumes that the file
is expected to be there, giving a false error, as you can see below.

I'll close the bug on procps.
Up to you if you want to raise another for dpkg.
