You are supposed to. The LFS says that /tmp is for files that do not need
to survive a reboot. Baselayout now defaults to wiping /tmp at boot
anyway.

Due to disk space restrictions I've decided to make /tmp a symlink
to /var/tmp instead of reserving space for both. Maybe it would have
been wiser to make /tmp a symlink to a dedicated directory in /var/tmp
