I can't replicate your error, in fact the install script creates /run/bitcoin, just double checked.

As for the srv directory, I remove it because the bitcoin packages use the same path. There are many packages that are not compatible with that data directory.

bitcoind[903]: Error: Unable to create the PID file '/run/bitcoin/bitcoind.pid': No such file or directory

Directory /run/bitcoin doesn't exist. Creating it manually and changing owership to bitcoin:bitcoin fixes the problem until the next reboot.

You might want to pass along a tmpfile.d config https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#systemd-tmpfiles_-_temporary_files

Also in your post_remove you "rm -rf /srv/bitcoin /run/bitcoin" imo, this is quite dangerous since it might accidentally delete wallet.dat/blockchain if people decide to upgrade to a different package or whatnot.
