I prefer to do it this way, but that's a matter of a personal preference
(note that it works for root too):

*	-	core	0

Overriding kernel.core_pattern is way too limiting for me. I need those
core files in certain cases (but live happily without them by default).

Zero is a default value for this in Debian anyway. So - can't hurt, but
I doubt it'll change something for you.
