Is that documented anywhere?  It's certainly not the case today:

$ for i in /usr/lib/sysctl.d/*.conf; do
  dpkg -S $i
done
tracker-miner-fs: /usr/lib/sysctl.d/30-tracker.conf
bubblewrap: /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-bubblewrap.conf
systemd-coredump: /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf
systemd: /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-pid-max.conf
procps: /usr/lib/sysctl.d/99-protect-links.conf
