You know, that's a pretty good idea!
Put a 00README-TMP.txt in /tmp/ and /var/tmp/ which briefly states the
default deletion policy, the policy in place if it's not the default,
and a pointer to info about altering it. "/tmp's contents are deleted
at boot while /var/tmp is preserved across rebooting." Maybe in
/var/tmp suggest /var/scratch/ or /var/cache/tmp or such as a place
sysadmins might want to set up for not-backed-up but not-auto-deleted
material.
If the contents aren't dynamic, maybe they could be links to files in
/usr/share/doc/systemd/.
