Although apt creates all the directories in /var on install, it's
entirely possible that they won't exist at runtime. This is most likely
to happen on a stateless[1] systems, but could also happen if an
administrator wipes the directories in /var when cleaning up.

Provide a tmpfiles.d configuration to create these directories at boot
time on systemd systems. This will help ensure the directories always
exist so apt doesn't fail with missing directory errors.
