Hi!

Currently the "make distclean" command deletes the users' tempdir if it was 
already set as the environment variable "TMPDIR". In my case it is ~/.tmp.

Not only all the files in the directory are deleted, but also the
directory itself.

I think the directory should not be erased, and not even the files in
it, aside those created by the debian-reference package.

For a better explanation see this thread in the Debian Documentation
Project Mailing-list

https://lists.debian.org/debian-doc/2017/09/msg00014.html

And particularly the reply by user atzlinux that
contains a proposed patch for the problem.

Thanks,

beatrice
