It needs no special support from Debian, though we should document that /var/run must be available before the network is brought up and could suggest that both /var's have links to a /run directory. Of course if d-i got support for setting up diskless systems, it would be modified to do that for the admin. We then can just move anything we like into /var/run, and stop worrying about the issue. Seems reasonable to me. -- see shy jo
