I don't see this as contradictory to what I wrote (and how I understand it,
as a "mere" systemd user).
So yeah, during configuration development you'd run it manually, throw the file
into the correct spot (/etc in that case, I suppose) and future boots will
then no longer require manual interaction your behalf, i.e., you'd run the
command once, to get the tmp file(s) up during your current boot (i.e., after
systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service has already run) but rely on s-t-s.service
from then on.
