On a related note, I want to generate rpm %files contents from tmpfiles
snippets. I think it should work like this:

--------------------------------

%build
systemd-tmpfiles --generate-rpm-files %{buildroot}/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/%{name}.conf >.tpmfiles.list

%files -f .tmpfiles.list

%post
systemd-tmpfiles --create /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/%{name}.conf

--------------------------------

Where the output out tmpfiles --generate-rpm-files [name subject to change],
would be something like:

%ghost /var/name/

The point is that this will simplify rpm packaging by removing the need
to repeat the list in two places.
