There is no rc.local. All the "rc"-type files are in /etc/init.d and are
invoked by symlinks in /etc/rcx.d.
What I do is create a file "local" in /etc/init.d to put all my local
customization and then create the links by running update-rc.d (man
update-rc.d for the syntax here). See /etc/init.d/skeleton for a sample
file to use.

You could create a debian package and then install it. If it isn't worth
the bother to do so, put it in /usr/local/src, compile and install. It
won't be visible to dpkg/dselect, but these never touch anything in
/usr/local, so you will be safe. If it's already a Debian package, just
use 'dpkg -i <packagename>'.
