Well, I do not know what to do anymore. I have now gone and created keepdir_mount, which should detect if whatever is a mounted dir or not, and then create it or not in ${D}, went and added a list for all those to add in pkg_postinst() if they do not exist, but still I get bug reports. And guess what - its a portage issue. Portage should check if a dir is mounted or not, rw or not, and then act, else it creates this issue I am now in, and also the biggest reason why baselayout cannot be a .tbz2 ... as it have missing dirs if build on a devfs system, and then installed on a non-devfs system for example; missing CONTENTS, etc.
