You might want to consider doing that on your next bugs as well -- both
spelling the problem character by character, and giving the bug a nice
title. We would not have lost that much time if you had done so from the
beginning.

Not at all, considering the suffix problem that indeed exists (and not a
prefix problem that did not). Set to triaged/Medium. Frankly, I do not
see it as WishList, if the suffix functionality was available on the
previous incarnation of 'mktemp'.

The fix should be available for Maverick when we sync coreutils from
Debian. If you need it in a previous version, please nominate
accordingly, and *give a strong reason of why it is needed*. This fix
will, then, be considered for a SRU (Stable Release Update).
