Which has nothing to do with lucid; the bug report dates back to 2008, is
marked "incomplete" in Debian, and does not discuss /var as a separate
partition. That's not an actionable bug report; I've closed it now.

This is marked as a duplicate of the present bug report, which is fixed!

Is that bug #524972 (where the bind mount refers to a path which is a
symlink)?

I'm sorry you found this to be the case. Unfortunately some of the
NFS-related problems were discovered quite late in the Lucid cycle, and some
of these bugs took quite some time to untangle once identified. But we do
take responsibility for all such critical bugs, which is precisely why I'm
checking to see if there are any such bugs that aren't on our radar.

So far, it doesn't appear that there are.
