I am 99% certain.  I don't know anything about what that change does,
and if I had made that change, it would have been on my laptop.
cyberia is an image processing machine that I run for some local radio
astronomy people, and I don't do much random hacking on it.  Several
other people *do* or *have* had root access, but I can't fathom that
any of them know enough to make that change if they wanted to.

No, and I grepped through /var/lib/dpkg/info/ but only your package
references that file.  How hard would it be to do a global archive
search?

  set -e;
  for f in `find /debian/ -name '*.deb'; do
        x=$(mktemp -d) || { echo "mktemp -d failed at $f" && exit 1; };
        cd "$x/";
        ar x "$f" control.tar.gz
        tar xzf control.tar.gz
        grep sysfs.conf >/dev/null 2>&1 * && echo >&2 "Found reference to 
sysfs.conf in $f";
  done;

(untested)

I have always wanted to do this..
