Well, I was corrected by dougb@
For me a rc.d script is one that on:
1. has the right keywords, ... (ie. is rcNG)
2. has the right extension depending if it must be sourced or not
(on a a system which has local_startup scripts in the base rcorder -
HEAD and 6-STABLE for now).

This is indeed a problem; perhaps we should hack bsd.port.mk to avoid
this.

This is easy to fix, no ?

If you are asking what is the difference between how it is/will be treated by
rc.subr the answer is in the quote from Brooks which you removed.
An interesting discussion is in
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=conf/90070 and a solution is
tested (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/90150).
I think naming a script without .sh make it easy to see it's rc.d ready.
