Bug description:
  [impact]

  Documentation, and past behavior, for kdump-tools was that the
  KDUMP_SYSCTL variable in the /etc/default/kdump-tools file would be
  applied to the system kernel params at kdump 'load'.  However this is
  no longer true, and those params are no longer applied to the system's
  kernel param settings.

  [test case]

  install linux-crashdump (and kdump-tools).

  Edit the /etc/default/kdump-tools file to set the KDUMP_SYSCTL param
  to something other than default, e.g.:

  KDUMP_SYSCTL="kernel.panic_on_oops=1 kernel.panic_on_warn=1"

  reboot, or unload/reload kdump, to pick up the changes to the file.

  Check if the panic_on_warn param is set:

  $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn
  0

  the problem does not seem to be with sysctl, as manually calling it
  does work:

  $ KDUMP_SYSCTL="kernel.panic_on_oops=1 kernel.panic_on_warn=1"
  $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn
  0
  $ sudo sysctl -w $KDUMP_SYSCTL
  kernel.panic_on_oops = 1
  kernel.panic_on_warn = 1
  $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn
  1

  [regression potential]

  TBD
