The usual approach in packages, which do not want to be offended by a
remote default-directory, shall be

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(let ((default-directory temporary-file-directory))
   ...)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But it is up to the package to do so in its implementation.
