bootclean only cleans /tmp if configured to do so in /etc/default/rcS;
if disabled, bootclean only cleans /var/run and /var/lock. I suppose
that bootclean could have some logic like "clean /tmp/.ICE-unix if it
exists", but it didn't seem to me like the domain of bootclean to handle
random package-specific directories. Given that /etc/init.d/x11-common
handles creating /tmp/.ICE-unix if it doesn't exist, doesn't that seem
like the right place to clear it as well?
