I think this is not needed. Files in /var/lock and /var/run are already cleaned by
rc.sysinit during boot process hence they should be already %ghost-ed now.
This remark makes no sense? If they "already" needed ghosting, then the
mass-file should
be needed?
It would be helpful if we got a clear signal what to do with our initscripts/spec files
to minimize package changes....
