Bug#702812: init script stop fails because of missing pidfile

[Holger Mauermann]

Package: yate
Version: 4.3.0-1~dfsg-1
Severity: serious

yate's init script "stop" or "restart" doesn't work because the pidfile
can't be created if yate runs as unprivileged user. Default is to run as
user yate. A possible fix may be to create a subdirectory inside
/var/run that is owned by the yate user.
