Well, I do not buy the argument that everything in /etc/ should be a
conffile, and /etc/init.d/rc should defnitely not be a conffile.  See
#132542 for a early BTS report about the same issue.

What that is said, my long term plan is to move it to /lib/init/rc,
but I have never seen it as important enough to give it priority.
(And I still do not see it as important enought to give it priority
over all the other things to fix with the boot system and the rest of
the tasks I have on my priority list. :)

Happy hacking,
