coreutils (8.5-1ubuntu1) has been released on Maverick, with support for
'--suffix=', which addresses this bug:

cerdea@xango2:/build/buildd/uec/uec-testing-scripts$ /bin/mktemp --help
Usage: /bin/mktemp [OPTION]... [TEMPLATE]
Create a temporary file or directory, safely, and print its name.
TEMPLATE must contain at least 3 consecutive `X's in last component.
If TEMPLATE is not specified, use tmp.XXXXXXXXXX, and --tmpdir is implied.

  -d, --directory     create a directory, not a file
  -u, --dry-run       do not create anything; merely print a name (unsafe)
  -q, --quiet         suppress diagnostics about file/dir-creation failure
      --suffix=SUFF   append SUFF to TEMPLATE.  SUFF must not contain slash.
                        This option is implied if TEMPLATE does not end in X.
      --tmpdir[=DIR]  interpret TEMPLATE relative to DIR.  If DIR is not
                        specified, use $TMPDIR if set, else /tmp.  With
                        this option, TEMPLATE must not be an absolute name.
                        Unlike with -t, TEMPLATE may contain slashes, but
                        mktemp creates only the final component

  -p DIR              use DIR as a prefix; implies -t [deprecated]
  -t                  interpret TEMPLATE as a single file name component,
                        relative to a directory: $TMPDIR, if set; else the
                        directory specified via -p; else /tmp [deprecated]

      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit
