The user should have a choice where to store debugging output. I use rather small system partition and in consequence debugging large ocrodjvu job requires splitting it into smaller ones, which is obviously cumbersome.You can use the TMPDIR environment variable.Good to know, but it would be much more convenient to specify the directory in the command line, e.g. as the argument of the -D options.
It's arguable whether it would be more convenient. Anyway, it doesn't _need_ to be convenient:
* -D/--debug is supposed to be used only sporadically (and ideally should be never needed).
* If you don't use -D/--debug, usage of temporary space is not significant (a few megabytes in a typical case).
