When I'm installing wine (not wine1.2) I still see complaints while it
ostensibly installs (why?).

While it's bad practice to have sysctl keys set in /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf
and /etc/sysctl.conf, this should not be a deal-breaker nor should it be
a noise-maker for wine's installation.  Here's what I get when I install
-

. . .
Setting up wine (1.0.1-0ubuntu8) ...
kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
vm.mmap_min_addr = 0
error: "sysctl vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs" is an unknown key
dpkg: error processing wine (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 255
. . .

Please pardon me if the included patch introduces a BASH-ism, which I
tend to add.  :)  This one-line change should suppress printing
unnecessary sysctl output during installation, while still potentially
warning the person doing the installing.  In my case -

. . .
Setting up wine (1.0.1-0ubuntu9jrb) ...
error: "sysctl vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs" is an unknown key
. . .
