That's local_block; this appears to be local-block.
On my system (stable+testing, though with sysvinit rather than systemd):
$ dlocate scripts/local-block
mdadm: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-block
mdadm: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-block/mdadm
lvm2: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-block
lvm2: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-block/lvm2
