This is still an issue but I agree that's a corner case.
To reproduce:
$ apt-get install --download-only mono-xsp2
$ dpkg --unpack /var/cache/apt/archives/mono-xsp2*
- Restart your computer
$ apt-get -f install
The creation should be handled by the init.d script, according to the
Debian Policy 9.3.2: "/var/run and /var/lock may be mounted as temporary
filesystems[66], so the init.d scripts must handle this correctly. This
will typically amount to creating any required subdirectories
dynamically when the init.d script is run, rather than including them in
the package and relying on dpkg to create them."
