When you install a script from an emerged package, use the rc-update command to do so. It causes the computation of dependencies and makes sure the script might complete. If you just copy a script to boot or wherever, I am not sure that the dependencies will be calculated when the system boots. Anyway, I use the rc-update command and have never had a problem.
