If /var is a relative symlink to say mnt/var, it seems to work fine. If /var is an absolute symlink to /mnt/var, rtkit-daemon fails to start (complaining about /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket not being available). Tested with 232-18. That all said, I'm not sure if supporting such a setup is actually worth it. If you need to move /var to a separate location, ideally you make it a separate mount point. If that is not possible, I would suggest you bind mount the directory. This works fine. Felipe, do you think this is worth investigating and spending time on? -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
