I have attached what I believe is a good fix the problem, however, I haven't tried it, and I haven't tested if something more for creating the necessary folder at runtime should be added. Please make sure to test before applying the patch blindly. I have uploaded to DELAYED/2 an NMU of ircd-ircu versioned 2.10.12.10.dfsg1-1.1, based on the patch by Thomas (I tested that the patch works, and I just added the corresponding LaunchPad bug number). The debdiff is attached. Please let me know if I should delay the upload longer.

Bug#689893: Ships a folder in /var/run or /var/lock (Policy Manual section 9.3.2)
Package: ircd-ircu Version: 2.10.12.10.dfsg1-1 Severity: serious Tags: patch Dear Maintainer, Andreas Beckmann deb...@abeckmann.de reported in -devel that your package (as well as 27 others) ships a folder either in /var/run or /var/lock. This is forbidden by policy. Lintian detects the problem and warns as follow: /var/run may be a temporary filesystem, so any directories or files needed /there must be created dynamically at boot time. Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 9.3.2 (Writing the scripts) for details. Severity: serious, Certainty: possible Check: files, Type: binary, udeb which is why I am reporting this bug with severity serious (and there fore, release critical). Please fix your package. I have attached what I believe is a good fix the problem, however, I haven't tried it, and I haven't tested if something more for creating the necessary folder at runtime should be added. Please make sure to test before applying the patch blindly.
