Well, I often explicitly want both files to be created during one
compilation:
1. the 'page by page' PDF, with point-and-click-links (usually A4 sheet
size)
2. the PS file, because it's used for another postprocessing: I generate a
booklet layout PDF from it (this PDF uses the double sheet size, e.g. A3)

Therfore, if someone explicitly want's the keep the intermediate PS file, it
shall not be using a temporary file name.

Moreover, often I generate a third PDF, too - one just like the first PDF,
but the textedit links removed.
I implemented this by a patch to scm/backend-library.scm [LSR 992, not
approved jet].
I could look how to convert the file name from relative to absolute path
there in the procedure postscript->pdf, but the same has to be done for all
other final conversion which use an intermediate postcript file, too.
