Comment (by gerard at linuxfromscratch.org):

 What was the rationale behind using a marker of any kind? In a previous
 version of cleanfs it was assumed that when it ran, it would be safe to
 clean out /var/run (and other directories). I don't remember the reasons
 for implementing this change.

 If keeping such a marker is desirable we could move 'setclock' up earlier
 in the sequence - run it as early as possible. Likely after modules and
 udev.
