Thanks a lot! I will try to improve it again:

  As an extension to the FHS, the Debian filesystem has a /run directory
  intended to hold program state file for programs that run early during
  the boot process when /var is not yet mounted.
  
  /run must be in the root filesystem, or it must be made available at the
  time the root filesystem would be mounted in read-write mode. It must be
  writeable. It is not required that its content survives system reboot.

Imagine a large red swirl here.
