Public bug reported:
base-files.postinst contains the function migrate_directory, which
should replace /var/{run,lock} with symlinks to /run and /run/lock doing
a "rmdir; ln -s". This fails, as both directories are tmpfs mounts on
Natty and can't be simply rmdir'ed without umounting their tmpfs in
advance.
On next boot several services fail, because they write their data to
/run but look for the data in /var/run (dbus, rpcbind).
