I'm curious how this works for you but not for Mr. Belahcene and not for me.

I've a Debian 4.0 (Etch mostly) system with sysv-rc installed
and /etc/rc.local is not called by default. I added a call in
/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh to get it executed because the suggestion in
the Debian FAQ sect. 10.6 which says to put a script in /etc/init.d/
then use update-rc.d to set the links seemed over complex for my needs.

Do you have the file-rc package installed instead of sysv-rc?

Thanks,
Mike
