Drop debian/sysctl.d/10-tcp-timestamps-workaround.conf again now that we
have a fixed kernel, and make sure it gets removed on upgrade to this
version (LP: #264019).

25. By Colin Watson on 2008-10-27

Add debian/sysctl.d/10-tcp-timestamps-workaround.conf to disable TCP
timestamping, since its implementation in the 2.6.27 kernel in Ubuntu
8.10 causes problems with certain routers (LP: #264019).

* Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
  - debian/{postinst,rules}: init script to priority 17, remove on upgrade.
  - debian/patches/60_top_nohz: fix idle report when running NOHZ (debian
    bug #495882).
  - debian/init: respect $VERBOSE setting (debian bug #495885).
  - debian/sysctl.conf: recommend against tcp_syncookies since it blocks
    tcp window scaling (debian bug #495884).
  - debian/control: Maintainer field update.
* debian/sysctl.d: move all Ubuntu-specific sysctl settings:
  - 10-console-messages.conf: stop low-level kernel messages on console.
  - 10-network-security.conf: enable "rp_filter" by default.
  - 10-process-security.conf:
    - block lower 64k allocations to protect kernel from NULL deref attacks.
    - enable /proc/$pid/maps protection.
  - 10-keyboard.conf.powerpc: Mouse button emulation.
  - 30-inotify-limits.conf: moved to "tracker" package for increasing
    inotify watches to 524,388 for tracker.
* debian/rules:
  - install sysctl files from new sysctl.d directory.
  - append debian/sysctl.d/*.conf.$DEB_HOST_ARCH to 10-arch-specific.conf
* debian/sysctl.conf: add comment drawing attention to sysctl.d directory
  (debian bug #495884).

No particular need for the maximum inotify instances to be that high,
leave them at the default -otherwise you'll exhaust file descriptors
first.

18. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2007-10-28

Increase maximum inotify instances to 1,024 and watches to 524,388 -
since tracker is in our default install, we need a lot more.

Test for DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS=linux instead of DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu
as the lpia DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM is linux-gnulp instead, which breaks.
