[Pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#620456: Please move /tmp/gpg-XXXXXX directories to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR

Package: gnupg-agent
Version: 2.0.26-6
Followup-For: Bug #620456

Apart from cluttering /tmp, placing the temporary directories there 
suffers from automatic /tmp cleaning. Since some time I lose the socket 
directories in /tmp in a week after I start my session. Perhaps this is 
some systemd-related task that swipes /tmp, but I haven't found it yet.

Moving /tmp/gpg-XXXXXX directories to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR would fix the 
above /tmp cleaning problem too.

As a workaround, using --use-standard-socket option causes the sockets 
to be put in ~/.gnupg using fixed names, which solves both the problem I 
have above and the problem of cluttering the temporary directories 
location since no new directory is created with each session.


Cheers,
