You are correct. I was unable to convince the debian developers that we needed to make /var/run/ a tmpfs to make sure it was writable at the very start of the boot (as Ubuntu has done), so I ended up creating a different location for this purpose. Ubuntu do not have (and do not need) /lib/init/rw/, so they can (and should) keep /var/run/. On the other hand, these pid files are only used during boot, and are gone when stop-readahead has executed, so I do not believe it is a big problem that the pid file is stored elsewhere during boot. /var/run/ is only writable at the point where readahead starts when RAMRUN=yes is set, and I doubt I will succeed in convincing the Debian project to make such change in the default configuration. Because of this, I picked /lib/init/rw/. Unless you have a better proposal, I suggest we go with this tested solution.
