Hi,

the package linux-sysctl-defaults got introduced in trixie and is 
Priority: important. Most users should install it, to avoid being 
surprised by behaviour changes when not having it.

An example is ping(8) not working as normal users without it, due to 
#1008281.

I don't know which other things may break.

iputils-ping, procps, systemd also Recommend the package, but I 
imagine lots of people will be surprised anyway.

Thanks,
Chris
