Huh.  Weird.

You're going to have to figure out what's mounting your /tmp file system
in the first place.  If it's not /etc/fstab then it could be a dedicated
systemd unit, or a command in /etc/rc.local, or a crontab @reboot entry,
or an /etc/init.d/ script, ....

unicorn:~$ df /tmp
Filesystem     1K-blocks     Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda7       23854928 19625616   2992220  87% /
unicorn:~$ mount | grep /tmp
unicorn:~$ 

I think this was installed as Debian 9, rather than buster, but I can't
imagine such a dramatic change in the buster installer by default.  I
think it must be something local to your computer.
