That's a bit undefined. The upstream glibc standard is /dev/shm/; Debian
introduced /run/shm/ a while ago essentially because "it looks nicer"
(https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/RunDirectory), which led to all
this confusion and complicated postinst code to move directories and
symlinks back and forth :-(

So in essence, we either need /dev/shm -> /run/shm/, or /run/shm ->
/dev/shm/.
