I've taken this as an Ack (since you acked several other patches with
reference to these comments, so I've assumed the omission here was
unintentional) and also Acked myself + applied.

I have also acked + applied
        tools: remove /var/lock/subsys from install target
        tools/pygrub: remove /var/run/xend/boot from install target
which you did ack as well.

Ian.
