Why not create that directory in the /var/tmp/portage/package/ directory. |
| 23 |
It would also safeguard against packages using files that they did not |

request. Maybe in the future a similar thing could be done for patches |

(when ebuilds finally get to specify which files from the files dir they |
| 26 |
use) |
