package: devscripts
version: 2.11.4
severity: normal

I haven't really spent a lot of time looking into the details of this,
but I've found that lintian always runs out of tmp space when building
chromium (a rather large package) via debuild.  I imagine this is
because debuild is overidding the TMPDIR setting.  This is an issue
due to /tmp now being a tmpfs mount by default, which is rather small
as a percent of total system memory.  To reproduce:

$ mkdir /home/name/tmp
$ export TMPDIR=/home/name/tmp
$ apt-get source chromium
$ cd chromium*
$ debuild

Lintian checks will run out of space.  Note that the following succeeds:

$ export TMPDIR=/home/name/tmp
$ lintian chromium*.changes

Thanks for looking into this.

Best wishes,
Mike
