Just some things to keep in mind:
*) If puppet hangs in rc.local, the startup process will hang in some distros.
*) If puppet's not daemonized, and puppet returns an error, rc.local will stop
executing in some distros.
*) Make sure that nothing changes rc.local back until puppet successfully
finishes the first run.
