If we want to try and weigh cost against benefit, do the benefits really
outweigh the cost? How costly is it to carry a patch in Debian and deviate from
upstream versus all the problems that participants of this thread now listed?
My gut feeling is, that the cost of these hard to debug problems is far greater
than continuing to deviate from upstream and carry a Debian-specific patch, no?

Concerning the /var/tmp (and /tmp) cleaning, the Debian specific patch is https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/-/blob/debian/master/debian/patches/debian/Bring-tmpfiles.d-tmp.conf-in-line-with-Debian-defaul.patch?ref_type=heads

This patch/change was added in 2012 and has required very little to no maintenance since that time. So the cost of keeping it is very low maintenance wise.
