[Impact]
* /var/cache is expected to be able to be cleared for a reboot without
drawbacks. But the directory of pollinate is a classic cache, yet it
only is created in postinst. That leads to the service failing on
reboot after the path was cleared.
For example the cockpit images are affected by that
* The Fix for that is to instruct systemd to (if needed) create that path
under the same permissions.
[Test Case]
* sudo rm -rf /var/cache/pollinate
* sudo reboot
* systemctl status pollinate
Without the fix it will fail to start missing the directory (but
complaining about a wrong user). With the fix it works as systemd
recreates that directory if needed.
[Where problems could occur]
* We modify the service file, so issues would be around the
/var/cache/pollinate creation/usage or the start/stop/restart
of the service.
[Other Info]
* the postinst bits doeing the mkdir are not removed to easen backport to
e.g. Xenial where this systemd feature does not exist.
