As I understand it, if we do that we might as well remove the #TMPFILES#
marker in the shell script (as it would be simpler and probably faster
than implementing the same code in shell).  But then we are back to the
place that Michael recommended us to avoid.

Have you considered the options that Michael recommended for Ubuntu?
E.g. correcting the vars.conf in the systemd package.  If so, what is
holding you back from applying that change?

Thanks,
