Another one for you to investigate: I believe apt source and 'apt-get
source' download and extract things into /tmp, as in the mmdebootstap
example mentioned by someone else, this will create "old" files that
could immediately be flagged for deletion causing surprises.

(People restoring from backups might also find this an issue)
