I have looked at other package scripts in Debian and committed a fix.

There is one alternative route: If mktemp is called with "--tmpdir"
without specifying a directory and the template contains a relative
path, then first $TMPDIR is used as temporary directory and, if the
variable is empty/non-existant, the hard-coded default "/tmp".

But I don't see a compelling reason to honor $TMPDIR here and all
package scripts either use "-p /tmp" or directly specify an absolute
path in the template.

Grüße,
Sven.
