So, you propose that base-files des not contain var/lock or var/run anymore.
I think that will not work: If we make var/run and var/lock to be
symlinks, and then we upgrade base-files to a version which does not
contain var/lock and var/run anymore, the symlinks will disappear, as
dpkg will remove them.
So, if the symlinks are useful at all, it will not be because base-files
creates them, but instead because some other package creates them (which
I think it is already the case), in which case we don't really need
base-files to deal with them.
This is why I think the best thing base-files can do for the good of the
whole system is exactly to do nothing about this, which includes not
removing var/lock and var/run if/when they are converted to symlinks by
another package.
