debian/rules sets a variable TMPDIR for its own purpose, and creates the
directory only for some make targets. The environment variable TMPDIR is
also used by programs such as patch and tac, hence the error. I'll
suggest changing the debian/rules variable name to something else. Its
value should probably be something based on TMPDIR in the best case.

Does that sound reasonable? If so, I can make a patch, or maybe better,
include it in the debdiff in bug #114793.
