So the unused directories in /run are something I don't expect to be an issue for Debian. As for tmpfiles support: In Debian we already have pretty nice support and debhelper (dh_installinit) scans the installed files and creates postinst snippet like if [ -d /run/systemd/system ] ; then systemd-tmpfiles --create /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/xconsole.conf >/dev/null || true fi which is run before the daemon is started. So, also not an issue for Debian. That leaves the only point: the configuration is split between two files. Tbh, I'm not too thrilled duplicating part of the tmpfiles functionality in .service files itself. What we could do though, similar to Documentation, reference a tmpfile which belongs to the service. So when you run systemctl status foo.service, it would show the corresponding file. This would it more discoverable for the admin and he'd see which file to modify.
