Package: base-files
Version: 12.4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

/var/run is currently an absolute symlink to /run
/var/run should be a relative symlink to ../run
if /var/run is deleted, then /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf recreates /var/run as 
relative symlink to ../run

/var/lock is currently an absolute symlink to /run/lock
/var/lock should be a relative symlink to ../run/lock
if /var/lock is deleted, then /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/legacy.conf recreates 
/var/lock as a relative symlink to ../run/lock

Both of these symlinks are currently created in base-files postinst.

This is a problem because base-files currently deviates from the configuration 
files provided by debian in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/

Please fix.
