Yes, as I just found on closer inspection of the FHS documentation [1], files in /var/run are supposed to be deleted or truncated at boot. Debian Etch clears files but leaves the subdirectories in place, but Ubuntu and other systems that either mount /var/run as a tempfs or are are aggressive about clearing /var/run get rid of the subdirectories at boot. Consequently, I will patch koha-zebra-ctl.sh to create the subdirectories under /var/run if needed.
