I agree with Mario here. There are not many options in /e/n/o anyway,
so it would not be an unreasonable request to at least document which
entries in /etc/sysctl.conf will replace which option in /e/n/o.

Especially in the case of spoofprotect, since sysctl doesn't seem to
expand wildcards in /etc/sysctl.conf and thus the naive approach of
writing "net/ipv4/conf/*/rp_filter=1" in /etc/sysctl.conf doesn't work.

Greetings
Marc
