You mean, the bug history in Debian?  I found bug # 182018, but it seems
like the problem here is not that tricky.  I mean, root has read
privileges for any file in /tmp, no matter what the owner or privileges
are, so why not just change the permissions in the temporary directory
so they're not world-readable?  That's what my script does.
