Thank you, I did not know about tmpfiles.d (which even has a man-page). 
That is more correct than the quick fix I had done locally (append the 
creation to my /etc/rc.d/rc.local).

There is one issue that is intreaguing: I had already seen, before 
posting my original mail, that sometimes /run/lock (sorry for the typo 
in that mail) is linked to /run, sometimes it is a plain directory - 
sometimes meaning one boot creates the link, another boot does not.

Correspondingly, creating /run/tty sometimes makes /var/lock/tty exist 
as a link to that target, but sometimes leaves /var/lock/tty as 
non-existing since there is only the link /var/lock -&gt; /run/lock but not 
/run/lock -&gt; /run. Looks like a random bug.
