systemd's postinst does a one-time migration from TMPTIME in
/etc/default/rcS to /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf , if the former has tmp
wiping disabled. That migration, however, doesn't handle the case of
TMPTIME set to a non-zero, non-infinite value. It should be possible to
do so, by copying /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf to
/etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf by way of a sed that changes the '-' on the D
line to ${TMPTIME}d, assuming TMPTIME is numeric. The following patch
to systemd.postinst *should* work (not tested).
