mmdebstrap uses $TMPDIR (because that's what Perl's File::Temp uses) and falls
back to /tmp for storing the chroot directories it creates. The modification
times on files in that chroot directory are potentially much older than 10 days
as they match the timestamps on the packages installed in the chroot. Do I
understand it correctly that with the proposed change and an unfortunate timing
it can happen that files older than 10 days get removed from a temporary chroot
directory in /tmp? If yes, how should applications guard against that from
happening?

Thanks!

cheers, josch
