Or mktemp is removed on the upgrade run, or mktemp wasn't installed at
all on etch too. apt-get gives a warning about the removal of Essential
packages.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] # apt-get remove mktemp
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done

There is no need to add a dependency on an Essential packages, we may
assume that they are on the system anyway.
