--- Strawman proposal, open to suggestions. A change like this would make tmpfiles flexible enough to detect what permission configuration an admin wants to use and go along with that. In general, "set a directory's permissions based on the set{u,g}id status of the binary" seems common enough to want to support; tmpfiles can implement this with a simple stat and comparison.
Could potentially be more configurable, by capturing the mode, user, and group of the item listed as the conditional path, and making them available as placeholders within the subitem, but that seems like overkill for the most common cases.
