My main concern is the fact that systemd breaks on a system sysvinit supports
without any warning(and initscripts's README.Debian gives no hint the
configuration is anything but perfectly acceptable). Is there any reason that
automating the workaround in systemd's postinst would be unacceptable?
Something like this should catch most cases where the bug would manifest:
if [ -h /tmp ]; then
echo d $(readlink /tmp) 1777 root root - > /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp-target.conf
fi
