I meant that the relevant file was not changed since 2007. > I'm not sure if /var/run and /var/lock still need to be created in > /target since debian policy changed for those directories. As Michael > pointed out, they are links now. Reading the debian wiki about /var/run transition [2] and debian policy 9.1.1.7 [3] I think debian-installer partman-target could only create /run now. It shouldn't be a problem if initscripts and initramfs-tools are ready to use /run instead of /var/run.
