Oh, sorry, my mistake, i forgot to remove that comment, which i put there to
debug mkvmlinuz :/ Maybe i will add an command line option like was done with
mkinitrd to keep the temp dirs or something.

Notice that in normal scenarios, this should not be a problem, since you would
reboot the machine after installing the kernel and thus clean /tmp.

Anyway, i will upload a fixed mkvmlinuz 21 this WE, with probably a few other
fixes in addition.
