Actually there isn't unless you meant /var/run. We do not check /var/log
upon creation and I do not think this is necessary either. If you really
want to put /var/log on a tmpfs that's a problem you should fix locally
yourself.

For /var/run you would right indeed, Debian policy says: "The directory
/run is cleared at boot, normally by being a mount point for a temporary
file system. Packages therefore must not assume that any files or
directories under /run other than /run/lock exist unless the package has
arranged to create those files or directories since the last reboot"
[1]. Having that said, we comply with that already.
