That looks like a packaging bug. The package manually creates the commitlog/data/saved_caches directories under the /var/lib/cassandra/ directory. It really doesn't need to though, since as long as it sets the permissions correctly on /var/lib/cassandra/ those directories will get created automatically if they don't exist.
