upgrade-notifier error after apt-get (dist-) upgrade

I installed update-notifier when it was announced the other day which
removed upgrade-notifier. Since then I've been getting these errors
after an apt-get [dist-]upgrade:

<error>
touch: cannot touch `/var/lib/upgrade-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp': No such
file or directory 
E: Problem executing scripts DPkg::Post-Invoke 'touch
/var/lib/upgrade-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp' 
E: Sub-process returned an error code
</error>

$ ls -lh /var/lib/|grep up
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root     4.0K 2004-10-06 07:35 acpi-support
drwxr-x---   7 backuppc backuppc 4.0K 2005-01-01 00:15 backuppc

drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root     4.0K 2005-01-06 19:09 update-notifier

$ ls -lh /var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp
- -rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 2005-01-09 20:42 \
> /var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp

I realize this is most likely a harmless error but it bothers me
none-the-less and I manually touch
/var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp just to satisfy myself. I could
create /var/lib/upgrade-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp so as to get rid of the
errors but that doesn't seem (to me) like the 'Right Thing' to do.

Any suggestions?

TIA,
Myles
