It proved to be slightly more involved then I expected. If I just make
default /etc/rc.local part of package, dpkg will silently overwrite
already existing /etc/rc.local. To fix it, I had to move existing
/etc/rc.local to temporary file in preinst and move back in postinst.
If anybody knows how to push this work on some existing tool,
suggestions are welcome.
