Interesting point. Mine seems to be working without this. I have the script
/lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service
~$ cat /lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service
# This file is part of systemd.

[Unit]
Description=/etc/rc.local Compatibility
ConditionFileIsExecutable=/etc/rc.local
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/etc/rc.local start
TimeoutSec=0
RemainAfterExit=yes
SysVStartPriority=99
This would seem to run the rc.local just fine on start. No stop, however ( but
I can live without that).
