On second thought simply duplicating the logic of procps start is a better idea 
as a workaround, namely:
cat /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf /etc/sysctl.conf | sysctl -p -


When procps is fixed (either to support restart or start), there are a few 
other things that need to be updated as well:
/etc/sysctl.d/README  needs to point to the new method (probably just start 
procps) rather than suggesting invoke-rc.d
DEBHELPER needs to do the same thing
The Wine package needs to be converted back into using the new method rather 
than its workaround

** Summary changed:

- package wine 1.0.1-0ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed 
post-installation script returned error exit status 1
+ Packages with custom /etc/sysctl.d/30-foo.conf files can fail to install: 
start procps returns exit status 1
