All *BSD mktemp's require template argument...

Without your patch it does those. Maybe debian-snapshot should
do like:

	cp -f debian/changelog debian/changelog.backup
        ...
        debuild -us -uc
	mv -f debian/changelog.backup debian/changelog

But that is another issue. +1 for your patch.
