*I* should do that? I've never pointed it anywhere. The package has
decided where it should be and put it there.

OK. So why is it not being used, and/or previous installations being
converted to use it?

Hrm. I don't see that. If everything falls through to the "it's not
there (yet)" case:
# It's a nonexistent
# Use /var/run.
if \
[ -d /var/run ] \
&& [ -w /var/run ] \
&& grep -qs
"^tmpfs[[:space:]]\+/var/run[[:space:]]\+tmpfs[[:space:]]\+\([^[:space:]]\+,\)\?rw"
/proc/mounts \
&& { [ -d /var/run/resolvconf ] || mkdir -v
/var/run/resolvconf ; } \
&& { [ -d /var/run/resolvconf/interface ] || mkdir -v
/var/run/resolvconf/interface ; }
then
ln -s /var/run/resolvconf /etc/resolvconf/run
else
mkdir -v /etc/resolvconf/run
/etc/resolvconf/run/interface
fi
So that looks to me like it's using /var/run if nothing else.
The only time it appears to use /lib/init/rw/ is if /dev/shm/resolvconf
was being used previously.

Yes. If all installations are supposed to use /lib/init/rw then IMHO,
the postinst should be moving existing installations there.
