No, I am the wolf.

It doesn't: you are bringing confusion.

You have checked Devuan. I'm talking about Debian 9 "Stretch"

Here the rumors I've heard from bitcoin core development: a CI script
was broken for three reasons, of which the mandatory activation of
rc.local via systemctl is just one.
https://github.com/bitcoin-core/docs/blob/master/gitian-building/gitian-building-setup-gitian-debian.md

also "rumors" of "deprecation" are all around the web with a search:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44797694/where-is-rc-local-in-debian-9-debian-stretch
http://www.itechlounge.net/2017/10/linux-how-to-add-rc-local-in-debian-9/

there is no official mention on Debian about a "deprecation", which
I'd consider vandalism. I am very happy of that and I'm asking if its
real or not that is "deprecated" as others write and if anyone knows
more about Debian's long term intention with rc.local, since its
function has already changed:

1- it is not created by default

2- it is not executed in Debian Stretch (9) even if existing

please correct me if I'm wrong. That would help.

ciao
