Yeah, I think this is the way to go.  That way there is control where
all the startup files go, in /etc/rc.local.d or /usr/local/etc/rc.d
or wherever your fancy may be.  If I remember correctly, people
aren't forced to put their packages into /usr/local, so why should
they be forced to put the startup files in /etc?
