I don't think it's a good idea to ship the dir or create it when
creating the user or any similar thing: the dir must be created on
startup of the daemon if it doesn't exist, as /var/run might be wiped
across reboots.
It would be nice if you could provide a patch to either cleanup
properly the users/groups/dirs or to keep them properly.
Thanks!
