That’s a good point.

If I was the maintainer, I would simply add the code to create the directory for robustness sake (I for one deleted subdirs in /var/run more than once and would expect a port to fix this on restart, also to make sure correct permissions are applied). But since it doesn’t seem like this is going to happen, adding a custom rc file would be a viable short term workaround for the requester.

I like the idea of having something like tmpfiles.d, it would also help port maintainers (could also be done as a port).
