Yes, this code is present, but is never executed in my case due to | # if /etc/network/run is a symlink to a directory that doesn't exist, | # create it. | if [ -L "$RUN_DIR" ] && [ ! -d "$RUN_DIR" ] ; then This doesn't cover my case (/etc/network/run doesn't exist) but only the case that it is a broken symlink. So I propose adding another if clause for the case [ ! -e "$RUN_DIR" ], creating /dev/shm/network if necessary (it doesn't exist on this system but on other systems that is the link target of /etc/network/run) and setting the link /etc/network/run.
