...but looking at the packaging rules for that (the 219-7 in
experimental), it seems debian does not use the upstream rules. The
debian 'rules' file contains:

        rm -f debian/install/*/usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf


An old changelog from v204 (dated Apr 26 last year) has this explanation:

  * Do not install sysctl.d/50-default.conf because the systemd package
    should not change kernel policies, at least until it will become
    the only supported init system.
