They are created when initscripts is installed, by remounting / to avoid any /var/ mounts, and creating the directories there. > If /var is in a separate partition, they need not (and might not be > there).

Yes, we can't create them at boot time, so they are created when the package is installed instead. :) > We have to use an different mountpoint, one that is guaranteed to > exist in /, and which is guaranteed not to be a symlink or something > else that is not allowed as a mountpoint.

The only problem is with partial upgrades and packages expecting persistense in /var/run/ and /var/lock/.
