In Debian, /etc/init.d/rc.local is a sysvinit script with LSB init info.
It is a normal sysvinit script, except that it has Required-Start: $all
so that it will be sequenced after all other init scripts.

It runs /etc/rc.local, which is a simple shell script with no dependency
magic. If a sysadmin has not customized /etc/rc.local, it only contains
some comments and "exit 0".
