I can do that, but on a standard Debian system you're not even using the
procps sysctl to do the parsing as it is systemd-sysctl in the systemd
package doing it.

It's not going to hurt putting it there, I'm just not sure anyone is going
to find it because the
only reason for an example sysctl file is historical.
