making /tmp a symlink to /var/tmp is usually fine. The only caveat I'm
aware of is that it changes some standard "housekeeping" issues.
Much of /tmp is intended to be wiped on boot, whereas /var/tmp should
not be wiped on boot. If /tmp is a symlink then /var/tmp will be
pruned by /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh

Well, normally when someone ends up with a /var deficit and plenty of
room in /usr (especially on a workstation, rather than a server) there's
simple and rational advice I give out: that is to shake uncontrollably
shouting "not FHS! not FHS! Gotta fdisk! Gotta fdisk!" in a nasal Dustin
Hoffman voice.
