Afaik, /var/tmp has never been cleaned up on /boot.
So I'm not sure what you mean with "no longer"?


Oof, you're right, it was /tmp, /var/run, /var/lock:

        [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && echo -n "Cleaning"
        [ -d /tmp ] && cleantmp
        [ -d /var/run ] && cleanrun
        [ -d /var/lock ] && cleanlock
        [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && echo "."
Would it make sense to make it a bug for a package to use /var/tmp (on my system, I can see files from audacity and reportbug there) and declare that this directory is for the use of the sysadmin only?
