Well, you are right about wheezy. At least on the i386 architecture,
the file does get regenerated at the next boot if you erase it. I
just tried it on a wheezy system I have. But as for jessie, I don't
think that the "bug" you refer to is going to be fixed. This is a design
change made by upstream. See
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24115
and
