Package: systemd
Version: 232-19
The systemd package supports executing an /etc/rc.local file on
system boot, but unlike the initscripts package of SysV init, it does
not create/provide the "By default this script does nothing" stub
file itself.
For users who are not already familiar with this file, its absence
reduces discoverability, and may give the impression that it is not
supported at all.

Right. This is part of the SysV backwards compatibility stuff, but that doesn't
mean that rc.local should be created and eternally handled by systemd itself.
In fact it very much should not, as the precise semantics of rc.local are not
well defined and it has caused several bug reports and confusion already (e. g.
"does it wait for the network to be up?", which is a question which itself is
not well-defined any more in a world of hotplug devices, wifi, and roaming).
Therefore I close this. The proper way to add your custom jobs to the service
manager is through systemd units.
Thanks,
Martin
