/var/tmp now owned by filesystem 2015.02-1
I just upgraded the filesystem package to version 2015.02-1, and it seems that it now owns the /var/tmp directory.
Since I installed my system, I have had /var/tmp be a symlink to ../data/tmp (that is, /data/tmp), since I run massive data applications that place gigabytes (even terabytes depending on input size) of temporary data in /var/tmp by default, and I want this data to be stored on my large disk mounted at /data.
With filesystem 2015.02-1 this does not seem to be an option, since I get the error "error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) filesystem: /var/tmp exists in filesystem" on upgrade and "error: cannot remove /var/tmp/ (Not a directory)" on reinstall (after an upgrade where I had removed the symlink).
Is there an easy way to make /var/tmp data stored in /data with the new version of filesystem?

Use a bind mount?

Can your application redirect its temp dir? Might be easier.
