[PROPOSAL] Directories for local initialization scripts



To accommodate local initialization scripts in Debian, one must add these scripts in /etc/init.d and update-rc.d. Thus scripts installed by packages and local scripts to share the same directories.

I propose the creation of some directories to hold the local initialization scripts and separate them from the initialization scripts installed by packages. One possible approach would be to use /usr/local/etc/init.d or /etc/rc.local to contain scripts to be executed after all the scripts in /etc/rc?.d and /usr/local/etc/rcS.d or /etc/rcS.local to contain scripts to be executed just after the scripts in /etc/rcS.d (to allow hardware configuration, for example).
