this is correct.
Notes:
1. if you wish to keep the .tex file pass the "maintenance" flag, and
interim processing files are kept, you would run
sisu -pM filename.sst
or
sisu --maintenace --pdf filename.sst
this should also provide information as to where the interim
processing files are located
2. it is possible to change where processing is done, if you do not wish
that this occurs in /tmp..., to do so you would need to edit the
sisurc.yml file under
processing:
path:
dir:
(should be better documented)
3. the tex files are generated whether or not the texlive depends needed
to actually generate the pdf placed in sisu-pdf are actually installed
or not. In the event that they are not, the tex files would be created
(and destroyed without the maintenance flag) but they would not be
processed.

You did not: the man page description of the maintenance flag should be
clearer, and; even if it were, it is not so obvious that such a flag
would exist or what it would be called ... (to get from how to generate
a particular output type to knowing how to keep the interim processing
files).
Will try improve man page description of the maintenance flag and close
this bug.
Thanks,
