Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.4.0.33 Something in the build process (dpkg-deb, I think) is ignoring $TMPDIR. I don't have much room in / (and /tmp) and building some of my larger packages fails because it fills up the partition, even though the filesystem which holds $TMPDIR has lots of free space. I end up having to replace /tmp with a symlink elsewhere while I build these packages.
