[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#722571: chromium: Writes short-lived temp files to /var/tmp instead of /tmp

[Julian Andres Klode]

Package: chromium
Version: 29.0.1547.57-3
Severity: normal
Control: forwarded -1 https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=290117

Chromium writes several short-lived files to /var/tmp, but those
should be written to /tmp. Users with SSDs often mount a tmpfs on
/tmp to reduce writes to the SSD. But /var/tmp cannot be a tmpfs,
as it needs to be preserved across reboots. Writing those short-lived
files to /var/tmp thus causes unnecessary writes to the SSD.
