Issue 120082 [1] fixes a part of the problem of excessive disk space consumption by extensions (see issue 119272 [2] for details). The fix reduces the used disk space by 50%. It does so by removing unused temporary files.
Saving 80MB for a typical user installation is worth it and should get into the next release. PackageManager does not need the temporary files when it is done with installing an extension and so I can't think of a scenario where cleaning these files up would cause problems.
