Hi,

...
I've filed a bug (#620191) against initscripts containing a proposed
patch for this.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620191

/var/run (→ /run)
/var/lock (→ /run/lock)
/lib/init/rw (→ /run/init)
/dev/.* (→ /run/*)
/dev/shm/.* (→ /run/*)
writable files under /etc (→ /run/*)
...

Whereas in "initscripts-run-transition-wip2.patch" I see:
...

Shouldn't that be?

ln -s /run/init $(DESTDIR)/lib/init/rw

Test-Case:

# mkdir -p /run/init
# ln -s /run/init /lib/init/rw-test
# touch /lib/init/rw-test/teschd

# ls -l /lib/init/rw-test
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9  1. Apr 09:12 /lib/init/rw-test -> /run/init
# ls -l /run/init/
insgesamt 0
