I'm not worried about pristine-tar (which is why I didn't cc Joeyh and
Stefano originally): it's not in Etch at all, and the original report
was about the sid/lenny Perl 5.10 branch.

I'm worried that I have introduced the same incompatibility into Etch by
rewriting File::Path::rmtree() into a similar version as the one in Lenny.
That's why I reused #479317; sorry if that caused confusion.

I don't know how many packages (if any) are affected.  The ytnef bug
(#507890) is the only user report of a regression that I'm aware of,
and it's not quite clear if it's about the same issue. Given that
/usr/bin/ytnef-filter uses

 tempdir("ytnefXXXX", TMPDIR => 1, CLEANUP => 1);

that seems likely.

Sorry if I've jumped the gun prematurely.
