After having a look at ifupdown, I changed my mind. We should not wait for etch to release before providing a tmpfs file system for use during boot. Some long-standing bugs in ifupdown are unsolvable because the state file isn't writable when the kernel calls userspace to handle coldplug events. Because of this, I integrated the patches from ubuntu to mount /var/run and /var/lock/ as tmpfs file systems in mountkernfs.sh, the very first thing to happen during boot. I plan to upload this into experimental today, along with the changes to split out sysvinit-utils and a few others changes. Testers are most welcome.
