Title:
  sysrq is now completely disabled, it would be nice to maintain the
  ability to reboot etc

Status in “procps” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “procps” source package in Quantal:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In fixing Bug #194676 all of the sysrq functionality was disabled.
  Some options are of low security impact but aid debugabilty of
  systems.  It would be good to reenable what we can.  See the original
  bug for suggested values in use by other distros.
