Title:
  systemd causes mess in /var/tmp

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
