The pids are stored in /var/run/xenstored and the store data is stored 
in /var/lib/xenstored.

xenstored always has to be running so these directories will be filled 
with something very soon after install.

Unless there's a compelling reason not to do so, I think it's okay to 
assume the existance of /var/{lib,run}/xenstored and have the install 
script make it.
