Lintian tag: dir-or-file-in-tmp

Type: error

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

Packages must not install files into /tmp or /var/tmp. The File Hierarchy
Standard specifies that such files may be removed by the administrator and
that programs may not depend on any files in /tmp being preserved across
invocations, which combined mean that it makes no sense to ship files in
these directories.

Please refer to /tmp : Temporary files (Section 3.18) in the Filesystem
Hierarchy Standard and /var/tmp : Temporary files preserved between system
reboots (Section 5.15) in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard for details.
