The blame is on Debian for that one. That's what Debian put in the
default /etc/rc.local file in every release up to jessie. (They "fixed"
this in stretch by not having a default /etc/rc.local file at all, but
if you upgraded to stretch, you still have the old default file.)
Debian's policy for developers is to use -e with all shell scripts
(horrible!), but inflicting that same policy on end users is not wise.
