symlink-target-in-tmp
Packages must not set links with targets pointing 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.
