Public bug reported:

On a desktop system, on AC power, pm-utils reset the vm.dirty_ratio and
vm.dirty_background_ratio at boot time.

When setting these variables using sysctl.conf, they are silently reset
by the /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/laptop-mode script shipped with pm-
utils.

The only way to give specific values to these variables using sysctl is
to remove this script.
