Hello,
While I think there were certainly good points raised about issues with
it, that mv code to migrate /{dev,run}/shm and contents in postinst was
long removed, and nowadays is only left code to set up directories and
symlinks at bootup, when they're still empty. All this `mv /run/shm/*
/dev/shm` stuff was removed 5 years ago in:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/sysvinit/commit/e58f3742cc303fd1563e6cf046661e892b97181a
> debian: Clean up legacy migration logic in maintainer and init scripts
So I think this issue is mostly long resolved.
However there is one point that I can confirm can still be seen
today: it was pointed out that /dev/shm/.tmpfs shouldn't exist
after boot, yet it still does. It is indeed still created by
mount_shm() in /lib/init/mount-functions.sh, but not cleaned up by
/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
Anybody can clear up what to think of this today?

This proposed snippet could still be relevant (apart from the part about
/lib/init/rw which doesn't exist anymore).
