This would only be useful if there was a way for sysctl to find the
default option from the kernel and as far as I know there is not. What
we certainly will not be doing is having these values hard-coded in
sysctl. There is enough "pick the number" games with the Debian package
alone for some keys already.

If the default value is able to be found, sure.
