I think partman should not create /var/run & /var/lock at all at this point. Note the comment right before the mkdir: # Create these before /var is mounted, # so that they can be mounted as tmpfses - mkdir -p /target/var/lock - mkdir -p /target/var/run + mkdir -p /target/run In previous life, there was a hack to mount /var/run & /var/lock as tmpfs, and it was done BEFORE /var is mounted! Ie, once real /var gets mounted, it hides run & lock dirs below itself. The code in initscripts tried to move /var/run and /var/lock elsewhere before mounting /var, and to move them back after mounting /var. Hence, /var/lock and /var/run should exist in root filesystem even if separate /var is being used, -- these directories wont be created later during install after we mount /target/var since it will hide the root filesystem. This whole hack is not needed anymore, and /run will be created in a usual way during install process. So this whole trick should be removed.
