Given the comments on my proposal, I'm rewriting it to the following: 1. to provide support for separation of local initialization scripts, allow update-rc.d to handle subdirectories. So, a /etc/init.d/local (or whatever) dir could be created and a script within this dir could be linked to rc?.d

Still regarding my proposal for the creation of a directory to place local init scritps, I'd like to propose the creation of a mechanism to handle user init scripts. Some users actually need to have persistent processes between reboots, and using similar functionalities for the system init mechani
