I'm working on it. To be able to script several parts of this easily, maintaining the /run functionality and also dynamic root dev functionality for lvm and raid in which I have been involved at the kernel level, we need a reliable 'readlink' utility - as Thomas might remember, the behaviour of the current readlink has changed a few times. I have now found that the cause is a questionable implementation of readlink() in glibc, and I'm trying to write a reasonable replacement which isn't quite trivial and is holding things up for now. One thing that's pretty much for sure is that the next sysvinit will ship (hopefully monday) with a /lib/init directory with alternatives for standard utils or sysvinit-specific helpers that it needs for the initscripts package.
