This will be mentioned in NEWS (and I guess in the release notes when

wanting to keep the old behaviour, which is as trivial as:

..

touch /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf

echo "D /tmp 1777 root root -" > /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf

This doesn't restore the old/current behaviour, which is to cleanup /tmp on boot. For that you would need something like

OpenPGP_signature.asc
