Public bug reported:

There's enormous amount of directories like systemd-private-
fdd28b0bfe4c47808e41dbb7a0300bdc-colord.service-vrglD7 in /var/tmp

It's clear why they are necessary but it's still looks irritating and is
magnified (compared to /tmp for example) by the fact that /var/tmp is
not cleaned up (and of course it shouldn't be) on every reboot.

The solution is trivial and already employed by lots of services for
/tmp - just prepend . to the folder name so it's hidden from user's file
manager.

Would be excellent if ubuntu could apply this to systemd as well: the
lesser is chance for user confusion (those directories are unaccessible
to the user anyway so there's little sense in showing them) - the
better.
