Which leads us again to something like /var/run/twiki/session/
or /var/lib/twiki/tmp/session/ or some other custom path, with some
garbage collection (cronjob ?) and all the fuss ?

Maybe there are best practice use of CGI::Session somewhere ?

... not to mention other uses of the other files created in /tmp/twiki
at the moment... but the most critical seems to be the dir creation in
the postinst.

Or maybe simply not create a separate dir for session files and use
plain clear /tmp for CGI::Session files ? Unless that leads to potential
information leaks ?
