Many people prefer to avoid clearing /tmp and /var/tmp, and distributions often have explicit settings for how often to clear them if at all. Overriding those with systemd currently requires overriding all of /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf via /etc/tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf, copying across all the other entries, and updating that override when systemd.conf changes.
Move the /tmp and /var/tmp entries from systemd.conf to a separate tmp.conf, making them easier to override without affecting the rest of systemd.conf. --- This change will allow me to create a personal package which ships /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf, without having to include the remainder of systemd.conf and update the package every time systemd.conf changes.
