The general idea is to be able to create /var on the first boot. If /var can be populated programmatically then a system can be trivially replicated by sharing (or copying) /usr and by copying /etc.
BTW, I do not expect that tmpfiles.d(5) will be the standard method used to create most directories below /var. Usually the CacheDirectory, LogsDirectory and StateDirectory directives are more convenient and flexible. > The benefit we gain from this is attribution of the directories in the > dpkg database, which is useful (although I understand that one can argue > about how useful). Not enough to justify having multiple sources of truth is my opinion. -- ciao, Marco
