I did the update/dist-upgrade but the situation did not change.

> No, /etc/init.d/umountroot should unconditionally nuke /var/run on
reboot.

So I would suspect it does not get executed at all

> Is your /etc/init.d/umountroot the unmodified version from the
package?

I didn't change it, md5sum is 36d5098f8a3965dce172a1c8f75e1429.

> Do you have any mount points *under* /var/run, that would prevent the rm -rf
 /var/run in this shutdown script from succeeding?

According to the output of "mount" nothing is mounted below /var/run.
(Please see also my previous attachment)

>Did /var/lock get turned successfully into a symlink, or is it still a
 directory like /var/run?

eduard@phenom:~$ ls -ld /var/lock
drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 4096 2011-07-15 19:30 /var/lock

No, still a directory. I think this is also a indication that
/etc/init.d/umountroot doesn't get executed on reboot.

Just for clarification: I definitely know how to set the symlinks
myself, and get the system running again. I just want to investigate
this issue, so that other people don't run into the same problem.
