For Arch's 'apache' package it is just a file in the package directory
that gets installed by the PKGBUILD script:
install -D -m644 "${srcdir}/apache.tmpfiles.conf"
"${pkgdir}/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/apache.conf"
Similarly for the 'screen' package.
I added a task in the Arch bug tracker to do this for R:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/53848
I don't get the sense that it is customary to put examples of such
files into the source distribution, so I think nothing more needs to
be done on your side (aside from alerting package maintainers for
other distributions).
Thanks,
Frederick
