Because it shipped in Ubuntu 11.10. (And, there was a bug that didn't fully transition some systems over that would cause a crash on boot).

Do you think you could you link to that bug? I just upgraded to 11.10, I don't have a /run directory, and I did have some boot problems that I worked around. (A google search didn't turn anything up.)

Edit: My mistake, after rebooting, this folder popped right up :)

Then why is the link to the description of the Debian feature rather than to Ubuntu's documentation of it?
