Re: Bug#654116: RFH: screen -- terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation

3) Tell people via the release notes that they should not run the dist-upgrade inside screen, but inside tmux instead.

Unfortunately tmux has an issue of its own for squeeze → wheezy upgrades, the socket path was changed from /var/run/tmux to /tmp in order to remove the setgid bit from the binary.

Ewww, that's not what /tmp is for. Also, you just introduced a security hole: every user can DoS other one (including root) my mkdiring /tmp/tmux-${VICTIM_UID}.
