wackamole init script does not check for existence of /var/run/wackamole

Binary package hint: wackamole

The script at /etc/init.d/wackamole does not check for the existence of /var/run/wackamole and the daemon subsequently fails trying to write its .pid file.

/var/run/wackamole is created by the aptitude install of wackamole but purged on restart. Subsequent starts of wackamole fail silently but strace -f reveals complaints about /var/run/wackamole not existing.

Attached patch modifies /etc/init.d/wackamole to create /var/run/wackamole if it does not exist.
