Poking around a see a few things:

1. I don't see a single entry in the man page that leaves off the 'age'
column. I wonder if newer systemd is ignoring this entry because of
that. From the man page, they have a screen example:

  Example 1. Create directories with specific mode and ownership

  screen(1), needs two directories created at boot with specific modes
  and ownership:

       # /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/screen.conf
       d /run/screens  1777 root screen 10d
       d /run/uscreens 0755 root screen 10d12h

I wouldn't have an age on them that seems scary, but you could have a
'-' to imply no age, changing your config file to:

  d /run/screen 1777 root utmp -

I see other Debian packages leaving it off (like sudo), but all the
internal systemd ones don't like /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf has:

  d /run/user 0755 root root -

Relatedly, since your config file comes in your package, it should
*probably* be in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ not /etc/tmpfiles.d. :)
