You want transient stuff like UNIX sockets in /var/lib? That seems odd
to me.

The FHS even explicitly says: "System programs that maintain transient
UNIX-domain sockets must place them in this directory." where "this
directory" is /var/run.

I understand your desire to be consistent, but I really think
integrating well with existing management tools for the hypervisor (in
this case uml-utilities) is more important.
