It exists due to a silly legacy debianism - namely /run/lock being
world writable instead of having sensible permissions. If you don't
like the warning, please spend time to move the project away from this
ancient and obsolete debianism, and then the override will be dropped.
Until then, it will stay exactly as it is. Complaining on this or
similar bug reports is not going to achieve anything.
