   This will be done for forky, most probably, but I'd like to do it at   
   the same time as the other symlink, and also I can't do that without   
   looking at the consequences.   
      
   There is a potential problem in Bug #1082498, which in turn   
   may or may not depend on how we decide to solve #1082433 in   
   drbd-utils.   
      
   Ideally, I would like to see drbd-utils fixed first, if possible by   
   using /run/lock instead of /var/lock. This will require code changes   
   and someone should ensure that the package does not really need /var/lock,   
   but that way the existence (or not) of /var/lock will not matter so much.   
      
   Thanks.
