Comment 7 for bug 915215

There has been some discussion on this bug in ubuntu-devel, and I realize that reading some of the comments above may be confusing, so I will summarize here.

 * The suggested merge proposal currently adds functional 'rc.local.d' behavior that would break anything. It does that with a new sysvinit script (rc.local.d). Clint suggested that it could/should be an upstart job, but I do not personally see that as an issue, nor do I think that by itself was blocking (The job could be changed to upstart later).
 * In the conversation on ubuntu-devel [1], Steve Langasek was not overjoyed by the idea of this change. His primary concern seemed to be that it was not sysvinit's job to provide this functionality.

Going forward, to address Steve's concerns, it might be best to simply add an rc.local.d package. I'm not actively pushing on this for 12.04, but may revisit in 12.10.
