Not sure what I should add here, technically the patch is fine.
- Should BR support /var/lock?
Then probably adding you own buildroot.conf to one of the skeletons
would be better (handle /var/lock and /var/run at a central spot)
If not, then patching out its uses should be the long-term goal. I am
not sure I agree with Joseph that many packages use /var/lock,
even less so if you use a systemd rootfs (only know of a few busybox
and if-updown services that do).
Being the guy that spent time removing all those legacy files I am
prolly biased then it comes to the right answer;
