Hi!

The procps package currently Recommends linux-sysctl-defaults on all
systems, which means it is getting pulled by default on installation.
But this is not helpful, or is simply getting unused on non-Linux
systems. The attached patch restricts the Recommends to only Linux
based systems.

Thanks,
Guillem
