It's kind of silly that this is marked as a 'wishlist' item when it prevents anon-proxy starting more than once, upon installation, on systems with a dynamic /var/run, and when the following three lines in /etc/init.d/anon-proxy (marked with a '+') fix the problem. I tried start-stop-daemon -m, which should take care of it but doesn't. An Ubuntu person pointed this out at the end of August and was apparently ignored. Makes Debian look sort of bad, really.

anon_start() {
    test -x $DAEMON || return 0
    log_daemon_msg "Starting anon-proxy mix"
+   DIR=`dirname $PIDFILE`
+  mkdir -p $DIR
+   chown $USER $DIR
    start-stop-daemon --start --quiet -c $USER:$GROUP  --pidfile $PIDFILE \
        --exec $DAEMON -- $OPTIONS > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
    log_end_msg 0
}
