Bug Description

Oneiric recently moved towards consolidating the various "transient state" directories like /dev/.initramfs/, /dev/shm, /var/run, /var/lock, /lib/init/rw, etc. to a single /run which exists both in the initramfs and the running system.

This temporarily broke packages which use /dev/.initramfs/, but that got fixed with a compatibility symlink in bug 810221. However, the packages which use /dev/.initramfs/ should be transitioned to use /run/initramfs/.

Upstart should first check for /run/initramfs/, and if that doesn't exist, fall back to /dev/.initramfs/. That will keep it backportable.
