[Xen-devel] runstatedir matters when using debhelper tools in Artful

[Mark Pryor <tlviewer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

When finishing a debianised build of xen-4.10~rc1 in Artful I had no extra patches, so I left out

this patch below that I used to build xen-4.9 in Artful:

https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2017-09/msg01424.html

When `dpkg -i xen_4.10~rc1-artful2_amd64.deb` is run, the systemd symlink links should get written to /etc/systemd/system/multi*, but now this failed, unlike the xen-4.9 equivalent package.

When it works (patch is applied) it looks like below

paste.debian.net/plain/991667

When it fails there are no systemd symlinks written and the package install is broken.

Nobody might notice if the runstatedir variable is missing from config/Paths.mk, but if you build Xen with a debian-delta and use debhelper it matters (in Artful or Buster).
