harddrive crash recovery? (/var)



here's a tricky debian question... is there an "easy" way to get debian to
recreate all the directories/symlinks/andotherstuff that's supposed to be in
/var in accordance to what packages are installed? :)

Probably not, considering all the package information was stored in /var too
eh? :)

My 8 gigger just blew up and I can't recover anything off of it, and now my
system is pretty much hosed.  But I don't want to wipe/reinstall the entire
thing, however if I can get the base /var structure setup and run apt apps
and re-install every package that i have without killing the old configs,
that would be very handy...

Any ideas are welcome of course...
