Hi,

we have some problems with the latest fixes of sysvinit for GNU/Hurd.

* Make /run/shm symlink to /dev/shm, not other way around (Closes: #851427)

        Boot messages:
        mkdir: Cannot create directory /dev/shm: File exists

        Mount point '/dev/shm' does not exist. Skipping mount.
        touch: cannot touch '/dev/shm/.tmpfs': Too many levels of symbolic 
links.
        Cleaning up temporary files... failed!
        startpar: service(s) returned failure: checkroot-bootclean.sh mountall-
        bootclean.sh mountnfs.sh ... failed!

        /run/shm is created by the hurd package, causing a conflict with 
initscripts.
        rgrep /run/shm /etc/hurd
        /etc/hurd/rc:mkdir -p /run/lock /run/shm

        dpkg -S /etc/hurd/rc
        hurd: /etc/hurd/rc

        - Either the creation of /run/shm in hurd should be removed or creation 
of the
        symbolic link /run/shm in initscripts should be removed for Hurd.

        /dev/shm is already a symbolic link to /run/shm:
        file /dev/shm
        /dev/shm: symbolic link to /run/shm
        ls -l /dev/shm
        lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8 Jan 20  2017 /dev/shm -> /run/shm
