I think this bug clearly shows that it is unreasonable indeed, because currently /run exists but the package in charge of making it useable has not been modified yet. I just was told to create /run as a placeholder but certainly base-files will not be in charge of making it work. For this reason I fail to see how this breakage is supposed to be fixed in base-files (according to your reassign). Do you mean that base-files should also make /run to work? That *is* unreasonable, a lot more than udev using /run without it being ready, IMHO. So: Would it be too much difficult for udev not to use /run until it is ready? I think that would be the best solution for this, so I would ask you to reconsider this reassign that you made. (Otherwise I will simply remove /run and leave it to initscripts. I think that would be a pity, because it would be a sign of how inflexible our software is).
