The tmpfs man page shipped by the manpages package talks about the tmpfs file system. The man page shipped by initscripts talks about the debian/initscripts specific config file /etc/default/tmpfs. My gut feeling is, that debian specific tmpfs man page should be renamed. Regards, Michael P.S: Sebastian, as you are using stretch/sid ans systemd, you can safely purge the initscripts package (along with sysv-rc, insserv and startpar) -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
