[bug #13774] Why is updatedb prefering /var/tmp over /tmp for temporary files?

[James Youngman]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #13774 (project findutils):

It doesn't look to me as if our preference for /var/tmp violates the FHS at
all.

I don't think that we're really dictating policy via updatedb.  After all,
/var/tmp is a valid place to put temporary files, and this choice can be
overrridden in /etc/updatedb.conf (on Debian systems).
