These same tmp reaping tools exist in Debian, and we have no control over whether admins are using them. It's not sufficient to use a directory which *on a default system* provides the required behavior. The FHS definition of /tmp does *not* allow it to fulfill the XDG's requirements. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
