The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard mentions as the difference between /tmp and
/var/tmp that the former should be cleaned after each reboot while the latter
shoud not—exactly as Debian does.
So it makes sense to have both because this distinction allows you to decide
how long you want to have your temporary files stored. I use /var/tmp for
temporarily storing more or less important data. Of course, /tmp would be
wrong here.
By the way, Jörg, could you send me a short notification if this e-mail has
reached you. The reason is that since some weeks I don't get any replies
from newsgroups and certain mailing lists. So I fear that my messages get
filtered by some spam filters and I want to test if this could be the case.
