The canonical path is the one stored in the package, and this is
"/lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service.d/debian.conf".

Anyway, the initial mail message was also giving
"/lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service" (without /usr).
For consistency, it is best to consider only /lib or only /usr/lib.
There is no reason to mix both (even if only in comments).
