Because it's obsolete? The Right Thing To Do (TM) with modern
versions of Debian is to put your startup script in /etc/init.d, and
create symlinks as appropriate using ln(1) or update-rc.d(8). If you
want it to run at boot time, put the symlink in /etc/rcS.d.
Note that if you *do* decide to use rc.boot, it runs after everything
in /etc/rcS.d. This may or may not be what you want.
