chroot considerations
---------------------

If you're using tools that use chroots, please be aware that
libpam-tmpdir only creates the directory and sets TMPDIR whenever a
new PAM session is started.  This means that some tools which do not
reset TMPDIR, nor start a new PAM session might end up with TMPDIR
pointing to a non-existent directory.  An example of such as tool
(when this is written) is pbuilder.

To work around this, either enable a hook that unsets TMPDIR or one
that creates TMPDIR if it is not present already.
