Because rc.boot was run in between /etc/rcS.d and /etc/rc[1-6].d,
and usually you want to run local stuff as the *last* thing
during boot, so you can be sure all standard services (like NIS,
if you use that, NFS, etc) are up and running.
To create a "local" rc script:
# cp /etc/init.d/skeleton /etc/init.d/local
# vi /etc/init.d/local
# chmod 755 /etc/init.d/local
# update-rc.d local defaults 80
.. that's all.
Mike.
