Bug#652946: live-installer does not install /var/spool and breaks crontab

["Rui Miguel P. Bernardo" <rui.bernardo.pt@gmail.com>]

Package: live-installer
Version: 34
Severity: normal

Hello,

after building a live image with live-build using the "daily" wheezy/sid 
installer and installed the image to disk crontab and postfix failed to 
start (this is a debian wheezy/testing image). The problem was a missing 
/var/spool directory in the installed system, that live-installer did 
not "copy" to disk.

While the installer "copies" the files in /live/filesystem.squashfs I've 
opened tty2 and confirmed that /var/spool is in the image

	ls /mnt/var/spool

and is polulated. But after copying the files to disk, still in the 
installer, /var/spool does not exist.

	ls /target/var/spool

After install /var/spool does not exist. This breaks crontab and 
probably all other packages that expect a /var/spool directory.

To fix (only) the crontab error, recreate the /var/spool directory in 
the installed system after 1st boot:

	sudo mkdir /var/spool

I also had postfix in the image, but this one requires one to recreate 
its directory in /var/spool, not just /var/spool:

	sudo mkdir -p /var/spool/postfix

Samba is another package that might break (not confirmed).
