rc.local is used on BSD style boots. Debian uses a sysv style boot
process. Where to put it depends on what it is. /etc/rc.boot is a good
start. Any script in here is ran at boot. Another option is to put a
script in /etc/init.d. You then put a symlink to this script in rc?.d
where ? is the runlevel. 2-5 is the user run levels. 2 is the
default. So a link in rc2.d will be run right before you get a login
prompt.
