I don't think this is technically an issue anymore, because iputils-ping
also Recommends: linux-sysctl-defaults (the relevant upload of iputils
happened since this bug report was opened).

However, adding a quirk to u-r-u for this is cheap, so I am going to do
it. Won't fix for systemd, though.

** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix

** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged

Title:
  systemd vs linux-sysctl-defaults

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  On Oracular, systemd Recommends linux-sysctl-defaults but it wasn't
  available at the time since src:linux-base was lagging behind Debian.
  It has now been merged so the new package is available on plucky.

  This poses a problem on upgrades: apt won't install the Recommends
  since it's not new.

  The possible solutions are either to drop the useless Recommend in a
  systemd SRU in Oracular or to add a hint to u-r-u to install linux-
  sysctl-defaults on upgrade. Dealer's choice ;)
