I leave /tmp as is or if I see a benefit for the system, then I put
something like this in /etc/fstab:

none           /tmp         tmpfs   defaults,size=55%  0 0

The 55% is just legacy from an old system where I needed that. I keep it
there as a reference in case I need to adjust it.

BTW, none of my Debian systems have ever mounted tmpfs on /tmp by
default. Why it happens on your system you'll have to figure out
yourself.
