How to handle tmpfiles.d in non-systemd environments

Hi,
There is a bug [1] showcasing an issue failing in a docker container as tmpfiles.d there does nothing.

On 6th of December I already wrote to ubuntu-server as part of my daily bug duties and subscribed people to the bug. Not much happened since then, a few small IRC exchanges and the Debian init system GR was resolved, but other than that I didn't hear anything else on the topic.

This class of issues we should IMHO solve/ignore/handle in a general and not package specific fashion.

I was wondering if anyone on the core-system or systemd side of things has already thought/decided on that class of issues and could chime in on the bug.

To everyone - have you seen similar bugs that we should Dup' together in regard to this?
