No, it is something COMPLETELY different.
Things in /etc/rcS.d/ are executed at boot time, before any other
standard services are running. Normally /etc/rc.local is executed
as the LAST thing in the boot process, not the first.

You should do that by placing scripts in /etc/init.d that take a "start"
and "stop" argument, and make appropriate links to it with
"update-rc.d".
