Correction: the latest openssh package (3.5p1-2) works around missing /var/empty by creating it in rc.d daemon.
We should do that everywhere when a daemon absolutely needs a directory/file to exist. We should not rely on it being present on the file system in such critical cases.
pacman suffers from a similar problem: running pacman on an empty file system will result in an error message indicating there is no local database directory - you have to create it first manually. While this is not critical, it is still annoying.
