Thanks.  This is definitely an issue with initscripts in experimental.
I've narrowed this down to bootclean.sh cleaning /run.  However, I've
not yet got to the bottom of /why/ it's being cleaned at all.  In
current git, I've added additional .clean flagfiles to all tmpfs
mounts.  bootclean checks for the presence of these files and skips
cleaning if they are present (it's done this for years).  However...
it's still cleaning in the presence of these files.  So it's
definitely broken in -23, but also still broken in git.

Should be relatively simple to fix--just don't clean /run when it's a
tmpfs, but there's something subtly wrong with the logic we're using in
/lib/init/bootlean.


Regards,
Roger
