The thing I miss most from the old /etc/default/tmpfs is the possibility to set the size of /tmp on tmpfs based on a percentage of the total available virtual memory (real RAM plus swap). Of course, it’s a one-time calculation that I can do myself when I’m customizing after installing, but it is nice to have the option of having the calculation made for me. Also, if I’m installing a lot of similar systems (with e.g. different amounts of RAM) it’s nice to have something that can be pre-seeded and doesn’t need to be tailored differently for each system.
