+Subject: package/base-files: change sysctl handling
+
+Move /etc/init.d/sysctl to index 00 and add hotplug script that applies
+interface specific sysctls for interfaces that only appear later - this
+allows to reliably configure per-interface parameters in sysctl.conf, e.g.
+to disable ipv6 autoconfig on a specific iface.
+
+Cherry-picked from Barrier Breaker
