Well they are temporary files so you can't consider that the package is
damaged if they are not here.
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.

Correct.  We can only distribute the un-extracted files.
