This is handled by this proposal, no?  That's the point of requiring
integration with maintainer scripts (via triggers or direct invocation).
My understanding is that this is exactly what dh_installtmpfiles already
does, via generating an explicit call to systemd-tmpfiles --create.

Or am I missing something?
