Additional info:

* /etc/rc.shutdown and /etc/rc.sysinit have RANDOM_SEED set to /var/lib/misc/random-seed

These are the packages I upgraded: kernel26 fakeroot initscripts klibc-udev udev, it's odd to me that /var/lib/misc would be removed.

I imagine the dir simply needs to be created in the package, right?

We should create the directory in the filesystem package and check for its existence in rc.shutdown ([ -d /var/lib/misc ] || mkdir -p /var/lib/misc)

Committed the change to the filesystem trunk PKGBUILD
