The idea is good, but I think the /etc/rc.boot directory may become
obsolete in the near future. You'd better place the script in /etc/init.d
and put a symlink in /etc/rcS.d (using update-rc.d, not directly), IMHO.
I am saying this because I found this text in /etc/init.d/rcS , the
script that runs everything /etc/rcS.d at boot time:
#
# For compatibility, run the files in /etc/rc.boot too.
#
[ -d /etc/rc.boot ] && run-parts /etc/rc.boot
