According to the sysctl.d(5) manpage, the files are processed in
lexicographic order, so the variable assignment in `10-...` gets
overwritten by the variable assignment in `50-...`.

You should probably set a number prefix that is at least 50 (I usually
go into the 90s with my own files), e.g. `/etc/sysctl.d/90-sysrq.conf`.
