At work I've changed the -f flag of syslogd and newsyslog to accept a
directory which gets non-recursively searched for input files. This way
we can have a directory, say /etc/syslog.d, into which package install
scripts can easily drop config files.

For something like sysctl this might be a bit much, but it's just a
thought. The example diff below is what I have in mind.
