On all my non-laptop machines I have /tmp as separate partitions which sizes are varying between 9GB and almost 20GB. I try to at least have enough space on /tmp to be able to store both DVD image (iso9660) and data for it. I have discovered moving /tmp to tmpfs on my laptop. I was making backup and got message that I run out of space in /tmp. After discovering the reason I have just changed my scripts to use /var/tmp instead of /tmp. From this discussion it looks like there is no easy compromise. As a (power) user I would prefer to have debconf question during upgrade, e.g. "We are proposing for you to move /tmp to use tmpfs. On your system you have X MB of RAM which means that your tmpfs will have Y MB. You can also leave /tmp as is to use hard disk which will be slower, can cause SSD wear-out, but will allow for storing large files."
