Спасибо за ответ. На Убунте ман работает тоже если просто путь указать. Ну и --tmpdir стрёмная затея.
Так что эти изменения можно смело пушить.
Если вам лень я могу сам пул реквест отправить.

Пока обедал проверил скрипт с мака жены и сделал ПР
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/debian-goodies/-/merge_requests/7

Тут объяснение зачем нужен --tmpdir
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=861611
Но есть простое решение просто использовать -t

@stokito 🔥, спасибо!
