rc.local is used on BSD style boots. Debian uses a sysv style boot process. Where to put it depends on what it is. /etc/rc.boot is a good start. Any script in here is ran at boot. Another option is to put a script in /etc/init.d. You then put a symlink to this script in rc?.d where ? is the runlevel. 2-5 is the user run levels. 2 is the default. So a link in rc2.d will be run right before you get a login prompt.
