And there's also S13bootmisc.sh which leads to /var/run being cleaned by
S16mountnfs-bootclean.sh, see #491059.  This could mess up things quite
badly, especially if /etc/network/run is a symlink to /var/run.

Andrei, can you please run the commands

sed -i -e 's/local/remote/' /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
insserv

and see if things get better after a reboot?

Maybe not, but the shorewall init script should be changed as it
accesses stuff under /usr/share.
