I think the default is simply a directory in the rootfs in Debian - the more common setup is to have a tmpfs on it. But the main point is, it's fine if you do a custom local setup with the appropriate local configuration, but then you also need to add the appropriate config for tmpfiles.d. You can either mask or replace tmp.conf, simply add your own file as /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf and it will have priority, and do what you need for your custom local setup.
