I don't think there's been an rc.local for a long time ... create one
yourself and install symlinks to it. See update-rc.d(8).

Like I say, it hasn't changed recently, certainly not between stable and
unstable. For documentation of the boot system, you could try:

  http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-customizing.html#s-booting
  http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-customizing.html#s-custombootscripts

... and, for developer-level documentation:

  http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch10.html#s-sysvinit
