I'm not sure why you have so many files open, but yes, you can change
the limit at runtime by echoing a new number to the file under /proc.
I'm not sure what the recommended Debian solution is, but I use sysctl
and add entries like that to /etc/sysctl.conf. The init scripts should
run sysctl at boot to load the parameters from that file.
