To be clear, systemd is not run during a normal build in sbuild so that 
can't be an argument here. Also debrebuild (and thus reproduce.d.n) 
support /run just fine, just that the content can be different.
Also note that I am only aware of two packages, gnome-settings-daemon 
and libsoup depending on state in /run so I think it is a good time to 
discuss it now. If we don't find a good solution in time we can just 
hint libsoup into testing (I did that for gnome-settings-daemon 
already).

Cheers Jochen
