OK, so you have an empty /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf which indeed works to completely
avoid cleaning up /tmp at reboot.
That is, it works as an equivalent to TMPTIME=-1. But I do want to cleanup /tmp, just
with some value of TMPTIME > 0.
Anyway, thanks. It at least confirms that the /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf is indeed
read, and does override the defaults.

Sounds promising!
Would you share what you have in /etc/tmpfiles.d/ ? From what I had read, that
is
where systemd would read it's tmp settings, and where it would have migrated
settings
from rcS on upgades.
[HN:tmpfiles.d] ls -al
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 25 2015 .
drwxr-xr-x 182 root root 12288 Jul 6 18:06 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 247 Aug 25 2015 tmp.conf
[HN:tmpfiles.d] cat tmp.conf
# Avoid clearing /tmp by shipping an empty /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf file
# which overrides /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf.
# This file was automatically created because of local modifications in
# /etc/default/rcS where TMPTIME was set to infinite.
[HN:tmpfiles.d]
Which is a very confusing message, but I can assure you that /tmp is
definitely NOT cleared.
You do have a "normal" Debian Jessie with systemd, right?
Completely vanilla Jessie except for ZFS added to support a couple of data
disks.
