Note that on new installations the directory /var/run/identd is also no
longer created.
As the /etc/inetd file still specifies that the service should be run as
user 'identd' and as that user still _is_ being created, it still seems to
me that this directory should be created and used.

Package: pidentd
Version: 3.0.19.ds1-3
Severity: serious
In my logs I noticed:
identd[8496]: s_open(/var/run/identd.pid, O_WRONLY): Permission denied
Which can be explained as it runs as identd and not as root.
Because of this, there is a special directory in /var/run:
$ ls -ld /var/run/identd/
