Yes, Ubuntu makes /var/run tmpfs by default, while Debian currently
doesn't.

That's what the current Ubuntu and Debian smokeping packages do.

In debian/init.d we have:
if [ ! -d /var/run/smokeping ]; then
mkdir /var/run/smokeping
chown ${DAEMON_USER}.root /var/run/smokeping
chmod 0755 /var/run/smokeping
fi
