no, as Frank already noted, this bug is RC if it's a bug in the package.

I don't know of any policy how much /tmp space a package might expect.

15 MB of /tmp (I also read it as GB first...) seems to be pretty small. 
Unless someone disagrees, I'd suggest to close this bug. But you might 
want to ask some FHS experts (e.g. via debian-devel) before.
