Well, my system has a cronjob that cleans up that directory, as above. I'm pretty sure it was set up by one of the Debian php packages. So presumably some sort of files get put there that need cleaning up. I could accept that perhaps upstream php doesn't use that directory, or even that the use of that directory might break the FHS, but it seems to be normal in the case of Debian.
