What's the advantage of the latter form over the former one?  I can
only see disadvantage.

What if rc.local exists but doesn't have execution bit set?  Of course
you can change the test for rc.local to -x from -f.  (If we keep this
sh /etc/rc.local -> ./etc/rc.local change, we at least need to make
this change to the test for rc.local, I believe.) But if you are not
careful enough, there are good possibility that you think rc.local
gets executed if it's present.

     Cheers,
Max
