I don't mind either ways, but...

... after this discussion, it looks like we would prefer:
/bin/systemd-tmpfiles and /bin/systemd-sysusers

For this, we need systemd to use update-alternatives for them then, so
that opentmpfiles & opensysusers do not need to use dpkg divertion. See:

I'd like to understand how /usr/bin/systemd-sysusers got into my system,
when others are saying they don't have it.
