I might be dense, but I don't get the point why the /var/run subdirectories

 Please also supply a pointer to the policy or a consensus reached on
the developer's mailing list about this init script bloat.

Hmm. The section on /var/run/ in the policy doesn't include anything regarding persistence, however there are numerous references to the usage of RAMRUN=yes, and also numerous bugs against other packages which have opened and subsequently fixed.


Where do you find these references?

dpkg -L debian-policy | xargs grep -i ramrun

yields no matches.

I see your point about the bugs, but how should a maintainer know that
by reading the policy?
