on my system /etc/init.d/bootmisc cleans up /tmp (but not _everything_
in it, but doesn't appear to touch /var/tmp

the relevant portion appears to be:

if [ -z "${CDBOOT}" ]
                then
                        ebegin "Cleaning /tmp directory"
                        rm -f /tmp/.X*-lock /tmp/esrv* /tmp/kio* /tmp/jpsock.* 
/tmp/.fam* &>/dev/null
                        rm -rf /tmp/.esd* /tmp/orbit-* /tmp/ssh-* 
/tmp/ksocket-* /tmp/.*-unix &>/dev/null
                        # Make sure our X11 stuff have the correct permissions
                        mkdir -p /tmp/.{ICE,X11}-unix &>/dev/null
#                       chown root.root /tmp/.{ICE,X11}-unix &>/dev/null
                        chmod 1777 /tmp/.{ICE,X11}-unix &>/dev/null
                        eend 0
                fi
