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.
