I can think of a couple of work arounds. You could chroot into a
directory and install things to the appropriate places. You could then
relink things accordingly.
You could create a new directory as you would with tempfs and
do all sorcery related work within it. You could then delete leftovers
accordingly.
You could have a temporary file mounted as a loopback and do all
work in there.
The important part here is that Sorcery as a good packaging system
should clean up after itself. Tempfs is a simple idea thrown at a
problem. I believe that the benchmarks have bourne out that using the
native filesystem may be a better idea.
I don't believe that having Sorcery clean up after itself and
having Sorcery use the native filesystem are mutually exclusive.
