You only need to create that directory. It doesn't replace anything, it prevents the automatic update process from creating an ordinary file of the same name to hold the update while it downloads.
At some point beyond the 5.9 firmwares that directory gets deleted, even if it is readonly and even if personal files are in it. (So amazon is perfectly willing to commit theft.)
