When running openser as non-root user it can't write its pid file into
/var/run since this is owned by root in ubuntu. That's why there is a
need for the /var/run/openser directory owned by the openser user.
Ubuntu and I think Debian too cleans the /var/run folder on reboot and
so the /var/run/openser gets deleted on every reboot without the
add-openser-run-dir.patch.
