Note that nothing below /var/run can be delivered as part of a package, since the directory disappears at reboot, breaking the package. It's not clear from these materials if the path is simply being exported as a committed interface for other projects to use if it exists, or whether it's actually being delivered by the tomcat project when that software is installed, but not running.
