As Olaf explained, the problem seems to originate in the fact that the initscripts package is not any more marked as important. Hence, if you don't have it, you won't get it by default. I personally agree on the fact that this is somehow a regression. Also, it is not clear to me *when* the automagic systemd tool that should create the systemd service (if rc.local is executable) is run. *If* it's only run during systemd's postinst, this means that no rc.local is created or honoured by default by systemd (unless it already exists in the system when the systemd package is installed), but we need to double-check it. What matters is that we need to retain initscripts as "important". > > I'll be installing some new Stretch systems later this week, if I find > anything different I'll get back to the list. Great.
