here IMHO two cases should be reviewed, build host side execution and
opkg on a target.

On a target /var/lib/opkg/$some_dir should be fine as a default
temporary directory, and it might be nice to have a config option in
/etc/opkg/opkg.conf

On a build host side /var/* may have permission restrictions also, so
* there should be a possibility to accept a user defined tmp dir,
* if /tmp is not good enough as a default opkg directory, probably some
subfolder of ${TOPDIR} should fit, either a fixed one or dynamic
somewhere in a working folder of bb recipe, which calls opkg.

Just my two cents.

With best wishes,
Vladimir
