This question comes up enough that a policy ought IMVAO be set for it.
Viz: any rc script named local-foo is considered local and sacrosanct
by the system, where "-foo" could have any arbitrary value, including
null (for the single instance of a local script).
But this way I could, say, run four local webservers as
local-apache-mydom0, local-apache-mydom1, local-apache-mydom2, and
local-apache-mydom3, without worrying about how they're treated by
Debian.
I'll bounce this to the devel (or other) list if someone thinks this is
a worthwhile suggestion.
Peace.
