why is /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf not being consulted?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i'm sure there's a simple answer to this, but i'm digging around in
systemd-coredump, and while the file
/usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf contains:

kernel.core_pattern=|/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %p %u %g %s %t %e

the file /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern still contains:

|/usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp %s %c %p %u %g %t %P %I

am i missing something here? is there a precedence/ordering issue, or
have i forgotten to start some relevant systemd service?
