systemd 215-2 is now in testing; this now ensures the /etc/os-release link is present. Best I can tell either having the link or rebuilding initramfs resolves the issue. https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/systemd&id=bd40bc9a61dd401650364e11cb0f71

Other services are also failing with missing /run directories - this is not limited to stunnel it seems. I notice that php-fpm.service is also failing the same way - there may be others. For what it's worth - systemd 217-3 does not fix the issue. I suspect there may be other services
