My /tmp does not have 50% the size of my RAM.

In my /etc/default/rcS:
RAMRUN=yex
RAMLOCK=yes

in /etc/fstab:
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs noatime 0 0

results in df -h on a 3GB RAM machine:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs                 5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /lib/init/rw
tmpfs                 301M  5.6M  295M   2% /run
tmpfs                 5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
tmpfs                 602M   20M  582M   4% /tmp
tmpfs                 602M     0  602M   0% /run/shm

Shouldn't /tmp be much larger? Which is the right package to report this as 
bug?

Thank you,
