If this is in any way a regression, or in fact if it's at all likely to
provide unexpected behavior or breakage for Devuan users, why not do
the following within the installation script:

if test -f /etc/rc.local; then 
  echo '#!/bin/sh -e' > /etc/rc.local
  echo 'exit 0' > /etc/rc.local
fi
# CREATE syvinit-style /etc/init.d/S99zz_rclocal
#     with its start case running /etc/rc.local
# Use sysvinit style daemon controllers (update-rc.d I suspect)
#     to create the necessary level symlinks


Do that, and no matter what Debian does to rc.local in the future, it
works perfectly in Devuan.
