Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
The problem is having /var on separate partition.
I suppose initramfs' initrd generation script can't handle the situation
properly.
If I put /var separately in /etc/fstab (with correct copy of direcory tree of
course) resulting system fails to boot.
This can be /var/run and /var/lock mounted during the initramfs boot phase
mounted to root ( / ) tree instead of /var tree.
Therefore /var, if exists in fstab, should be mounted before /var/run and
/var/lock in initramfs boot phase. Or /var/run and /var/lock should be binded
to newly mounted /var again, somewhere at the end of boot phase. Well, I don't
know the initramfs-tools so good...
