[Bug 810956] [NEW] /dev/.initramfs/ → /run/initramfs transition

[Martin Pitt]

Public bug reported:

Oneiric recently moved towards consolidating the various "transient
state" directories like /dev/.initramfs/, /dev/shm, /var/run, /var/lock,
/lib/init/rw, etc. to a single /run which exists both in the initramfs
and the running system.

This temporarily broke packages which use /dev/.initramfs/, but that got
fixed with a compatibility symlink in bug 810221. However, the packages
which use /dev/.initramfs/ should be transitioned to use
/run/initramfs/.
