Yes but in Debian this was not a default until now.
Before, /tmp was wiped on reboot. /var/tmp was not.
Neither were cleaned otherwise.
So for Debian, this is a systemd thing. And it was pushed by a systemd maintainer, who is also a Debian developer.
I have zero interest in Debian "being brought inline" with other distros, because other distros should be coming inline with Debian.
