Public bug reported:

On Oracular, it seems `/tmp` doesn't get cleaned on reboot, when the
`/etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount` file is present.

Reproducer:

$ wget 
https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/minimal/daily/oracular/20240913/oracular-minimal-cloudimg-amd64.img
$ qemu-img resize oracular-minimal-cloudimg-amd64.img +20G
$ cat >user-data <<EOF
#cloud-config
password: ubuntu
chpasswd: { expire: False }
ssh_pwauth: True
EOF
$ cloud-localds user-data.img user-data
$ kvm -m 2G -smp 2 -hda oracular-minimal-cloudimg-amd64.img -hdb user-data.img

In the VM, logged in with `ubuntu`/`ubuntu`:
$ sudo touch /etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount
$ df -h | grep '/tmp'  # you can verify that /tmp is a tmpfs, because this is 
the default now
$ sudo systemctl reboot
# Wait for reboot, then login again
$ echo Hello there >/tmp/will_stay
$ df -h | grep '/tmp'  # you can verify that /tmp is not a tmpfs anymore
$ sudo systemctl reboot
# Wait for reboot again, then login again
$ cat /tmp/will_stay
Hello there


At least our auto-upgrade-testing tooling relies on `/tmp` getting cleaned upon 
reboot, and as a user, this is what I expect too.
