If the latter, why not?
but when we did, I fixed this
using a hook for class UBUNTU (instsoft.UBUNTU):
# fix for /var/{run,lock} not being there at initrd-time
if cut -f2 -d' ' /proc/mounts | grep -q ^$target/var$; then
[ "$verbose" ] && echo "DEBUG: creating /var/{run,lock} on /
(\$FAI${0##$FAI})"
_varmoved=$(mktemp -d $target/var.XXXXXX)
mount --move $target/var $_varmoved
mkdir -p $target/var/run $target/var/lock
mount --move $_varmoved $target/var
unset _varmoved

Hmm, looks more complex, but might be more appropriate to solve it
already in the initrd. Still, as of yet I don't see why my simple
solution is or should be wrong and it worked well. Are there any reasons
to prefer one solution over the other?
