I added this because of some fonts package which has files in /tmp.If a package has files in /tmp, it should be reported here, as it is definitely a bug in the package! It is not pacman's responsibility to fix this, but the packager's.I guess he's talking about ttf-ms-fonts. The files that initially get installed in /tmp are extracted/installed properly afterwards by the .install script. I'm not sure why this is done but it might be a license restriction.
That package has no place in Arch anyway. It's non-free, unnecessary and improperly packaged. There are good alternatives (ttf-freefont should be okay, also the standard Xorg fonts are enough IMO). AUR has a proper package for this, so people who need it can build that.
I say we drop it, as it does not meet Arch's packaging standards.
