Package: systemd
Version: 215-17+deb8u1
/etc/default/rcS contains a line
# delete files in /tmp during boot older than x days.
# '0' means always, -1 or 'infinite' disables the feature
#TMPTIME=0
TMPTIME=10
This setting is completely ignored by systemd during system boot.
I would consider this a bug and breaks functionality during an upgrade.
Hint for the interested reader: Copy /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf into
/etc/tmpfiles.d and modify it as you like. This should override the
system file.

Joey

I fear this ship has sailed.
This TMPTIME migration was strictly for the wheezy→jessie upgrade.
Re-triggering the upgrade for the stretch→stretch release is something I
don't want to do. There is just too much odd stuff that can happen.
For example users having created their own tmpfiles in the mean time
which now could get overridden.
I also remember that it already caused us headaches the first time and a
few tries to get it right (see e.g. #738862).
And last but not least, I actually want to drop this migration code
after the stretch and not keep it around for another release cycle.
Thanks for the patch, but I'll have to decline.
Regards,
Michael
