This will be done for forky, most probably, but I'd like to do it at the same time as the other symlink, and also I can't do that without looking at the consequences. There is a potential problem in Bug #1082498, which in turn may or may not depend on how we decide to solve #1082433 in drbd-utils. Ideally, I would like to see drbd-utils fixed first, if possible by using /run/lock instead of /var/lock. This will require code changes and someone should ensure that the package does not really need /var/lock, but that way the existence (or not) of /var/lock will not matter so much. Thanks.
