FWIW, I would imagine that /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/postgresql.conf is
a configuration file for the system's tmp-file-cleaner daemon
(probably telling it not to flush some postgres-related files),
not a PG config file at all. If you look into it you'll likely
find that it doesn't look anything like PG configuration data.

As already noted, postgresql.auto.conf is not for hand-editing.
