Bug#795783: Applications should not use socket below $HOME by default

[Ansgar Burchardt <ansgar@debian.org>]

Package: debian-policy

User-level applications should not use sockets below $HOME by default: the
filesystem used for $HOME might not support them, as is the case for NFS
or OpenAFS.

They should use XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (if set) or as a fallback a temporary
directory below /tmp; any location below $HOME should only be used as a
fallback.

I'm not sure where in policy such a requirement would belong: we don't
seem to have requirements for either socket use nor what user-level
applications should be doing so far.
