It seems wrong to package empty folders that are already being managed by filesystem, something that I think should've been covered by the packaging guidelines.

I noticed this while evaluating folders' ownership on my system (for vendor type-like snapshots, partitioning scheme, and measured boot possibility, separating folders created by installed packages to the system configs, data, and cache created by the system services).
As /run already being managed by filesystem and everything under /run is created by tmpfiles.d or the running services, it makes no sense for other packages to own /run or anything under it.
This of course has zero repercussions.
