Looking at systemd changelog:


   * Make /tmp/ a tmpfs by default. Restore the upstream default and make
     /tmp/ a tmpfs. Can be overridden with: touch
     /etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount or: systemctl mask tmp.mount


Does a /tmp entry in /etc/fstab also override the default ?


Anything defined locally, including via fstab, overrides the default


Thank you for clarifying. Now I have two questions for the d-i team:
1) Do we still want partman-auto "multi" recipes to create a dedicated /tmp partition limited to 2 GB ?
2) Tmpfs can consume swap space, so do we still want partman-auto to cap the swap partition size to 1 GB ? (See discussion in https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/partman-auto/-/merge_requests/12)
