Package: dpkg
Severity: wishlist

Greetings,

It would help a lot to mention TMPDIR in the dpkg-deb manpage.  Bug
247086 asked for this, and was closed in spite of not doing it because
the maintainer felt it was obvious and didn't need commenting.  Obvious
is relative; I've been a DD for about ten years and didn't think of it,
had to ask on debian-devel, so I disagree.

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/03/msg00221.html

Please consider adding this to the man page, along with other
environment variables which affect the behavior of dpkg-deb.

Thanks,
Adam
