There are certain key mounts that setup removes always, /var is one of
them.  If you look in install.cc, you'll see the whole list:

  remove_mount ("/");
  remove_mount ("/usr");
  remove_mount ("/usr/bin");
  remove_mount ("/usr/lib");
  remove_mount ("/var");
  remove_mount ("/lib");
  remove_mount ("/bin");
  remove_mount ("/etc");

  create_mount ("/", root_dir, istext, issystem);
  create_mount ("/usr/bin", concat (root_dir, "/bin", 0), istext, issystem);
  create_mount ("/usr/lib", concat (root_dir, "/lib", 0), istext, issystem);

This is done to ensure that the resulting setup works smoothly for all
users.
