Package: patchutils
Version: 0.2.30-1
Severity: minor

Trying to use debdiff on a system with a small root partition can fail,
because interdiff -z does not respect the TMPDIR environment setting:

$ TMPDIR=/var/tmp debdiff gcc-3.4_3.4.3-12{,.1}.dsc
interdiff: writing temp file: No space left on device
debdiff: fatal error at line 365:
interdiff -z /home/devel/release/gcc-3.4_3.4.3-12.diff.gz 
/home/devel/release/gcc-3.4_3.4.3-12.1.diff.gz failed!
$

It would be helpful if it did respect this standard variable.
