Dear Maintainer,

I'm unsure if this is upstream problem or not, however after updating to
Debian 13 (trixie) I've faced some problems with my configuration and
the culprit was the removal of the /etc/sysctl.conf (and options that
I've set there some time ago).

While I understand and welcome the move to /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf files I
must say that a warning would be nice, either during package
installation or in "Issues to be aware" in the release notes as the 
file seems to be silently removed without any message.
If the warning is there then it should be made more visible because I've
made two upgrades but seen zero warnings about this change. Probably
even better solution would be moving the file into /etc/sysctl.d (with
notification) at the lowest priority, however I can see how this will be
rejected.

Thank you in advance and sorry if I filed it wrong (maybe it should've
gone to some release note suggestions?)
