Debian is the most "accurate" Linux distribution, and I guess that it 
doesn't use rc.local to be more simple and more "exact" about /etc/rc 
commands execution. Using rc.local for system startup, one has to create 
additional scripts in /etc/init.d and link them to /etc/rc.*, if he 
wants to start or stop services with runlevel changes. With Debian, one 
just creates all he needs in /etc/init.d and links it with runlevels or 
rcS.d, no messing up with rc.local.
