  ability to reboot etc

  Won't Fix
Status in procps package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In fixing Bug #194676 all of the sysrq functionality was disabled.
  Some options are of low security impact but aid debugabilty of
  systems.  It would be good to reenable what we can.  See the original
  bug for suggested values in use by other distros.
