mounted-varrun.conf has wrong path for sendsigs.omit.d

[Patrick J. LoPresti]

Binary package hint: mountall

/etc/init/mounted-varrun.conf has the following line:

  mkdir -p /var/run/sendsigs.omit.d

But the /etc/init.d/sendsigs script (from the initscripts package) -- which reads this directory -- expects to find it in /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d.

All other init scripts -- like /etc/init/portmap.conf, /etc/init.d/open-iscsi, and /etc/init.d/wpa-ifupdown -- also expect this directory to exist under /lib/init/rw.

The result is several subtle bugs afflicting both Lucid and Maverick. For example, my machine that uses open-iscsi hangs every time I try to reboot it:

Someone needs to figure out whether sendsigs.omit.d belongs under /var/run or under /lib/init/rw, and fix the other scripts.

I'm going to make this a dup of bug 541512 again, because we're going to simply fix this by making /lib/init/rw a symlink to /var/run.
