wierd.  i can't find any reference to these files, anywhere, on my
system.  sounds like some stuff left over from the previous release
or something?  try

grep -r 'var\.run' /etc 2>/dev/null > foofile

and see what's in foofile, what package the file belongs to, what
release the the package belongs to, etc.  in fact, you might want to try
out apt-show-versions (iirc), which with a little grepping can find any
leftover packages, which you should probably purge.
