If you remove sysctl from /usr/sbin it should be but in the obsolete
list, so that sysinst will be able to remove it on upgrade. Otherwise,
on upgrade from 1.4.x->1.5 a 1.4 sysctl will be left in /usr/sbin which 
is bad.
If you make a symlink in /usr/sbin then the old sysctl will be remplaced
by the symlink when sysinst unpacks the sets.
