It's a left over from the old bsd-like boot procedure. Some people have asked me to re-instate it, but I'd like some input on when it should be executed. Should it be executed after the /etc/init.d/boot script, or as the last step before going multiuser? It depends on your setup, I think. It's easy enough to add a call to the /etc/init.d/boot script, or to insert an extra /etc/init.d/rclocal script that calls it, but then again, why not put your stuff directly there instead of in the /etc/rc.local file? I'd like some feedback on this issue.
