Hi, I haven't made a detailed analysis, yet, and cannot say how many packages would be affected. Right now I have about 100 candidate piuparts logs that should cover /var/run and /var/lock, but I haven't sorted them in "buggy", "depends on buggy", "other problem". I expect the buggy category to be around a dozen.
Would it be appropriate to file RC bugs against all the packages shipping anything in /var/run, /var/lock or /run? Policy 9.1.4 says: [...] Packages must not include files or directories under /run, or under the older /var/run and /var/lock paths. [...] http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s-fhs-run The fixes should be trivial (don't ship the dir, create it in the initscript) and the packages taht currently don't create the directory in the initscript are RC buggy already because they would stop working after a reboot.
