</I>The /run - /var/run merge (/usrmove) is supposed to make the change
transparent for applications. Manually converting applications to
explicitely refers to the new location doesn't change its usefulness.
And you're confusing 'distributing packages' with 'rebuilding packages'.
I'm backporting packages everytime for my own usage...
