Is that not a more invasive change than just removing the tmp
files unconditionally (especially in terms of maintainability)?
I'm not even sure how exactly to do that, but I'm obviously
missing something. For instance, is there a way to manipulate the
global rpmMacroContext temporarily?

But your theory seems to be right, no /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.* files
are created if i drop the patch (but some scripts fail, as
expected).
