TMPDIR is an environment variable you can set, that's unset by default, so
there is no package that "owns" it. I've long set it in $HOME/.dtprofile on
my laptops, but GNOME could set it in the session startup environment or ON
could change the defaults in libc.so.1 that functions like mktemp() use when
TMPDIR is not set. (I think the default is defined by P_tmpdir in <stdio.h>
but haven't dug through the libc code to confirm.)
