I always and only mean Debian 9. So I will reformulate:

1- /etc/rc.local does not exist by default on Debian 9.

this is not a major problem since most scripts won't fail.

is it the case that one must run two systemctl commands in order for
rc.local to be processed, or will rc.local just be found and executed?
I know about rc-local.service, my point is not about that being
available.

I believe both points 1 and 2 are regressions.

2 is a breaking regression in most setups.
