It's sufficient, but IMHO the correct way to do it is to duplicate the set
of filename that run-parts ingores, namely:
Filenames should consist
entirely of upper and lower case letters, digits, under
scores and hyphens. Directories and files with other
names will be silently ignored.

That was me, and it would of course be an alternate solution. It's IMHO too
complicated, though.

They use run-parts.
