Package: initramfs-tools-core
Version: 0.130
Severity: important

In a virtual machine with 160 MiB RAM, running a freshly installed Debian 
stretch system (i686),
got messages like this logged from (at least) sh and ifup:

   "Failed to reload daemon: Refusing to reload, not enough space available on 
/run/systemd.
    Currently, 15.6M are free, but a safety buffer of 16.0M is enforced."

I noticed that /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init  mounts /run specifying 
"size=10%".

To prevent this issue in machines low on RAM, it would be nice for the /run 
tmpfs size
to be automatically set taking into account systemd's minimum requirement.  Or, 
at least,
to have this size as a nicely (/etc/...) configurable parameter with some 
warning on README.
