on my debian lenny system here, /etc/sysctl.conf is initially read by
/etc/init.d/procps from the procps package during system
initialization (linked from /etc/rcS.d/S30procps).  lenny uses
traditional sysvinit, though -- i think edubuntu is using upstart now,
so maybe it does something differently?  or maybe yer distro
migrations broke your initscripts somehow?

If a stock edubuntu install were to not initialize /proc/sys from
/etc/sysctl.conf, that would be a serious bug worth reporting.

PS no need to CC me, i read the list.
