journalctl -b | grep local shows:

root at ubuntu:~# systemctl | grep local
  rc-local.service                                                                         loaded active exited    /etc/rc.local Compatibility

If I add something like:
echo Running rc.local `date` >> /root/rc.local.log

to /etc/rc.local delete the /root/rc.log and reboot I definitely get 2 entries:
root at ubuntu:~# cat /root/rc.local.log
Running rc.local Thu 17 Sep 2020 07:55:10 PM PDT
Running rc.local Thu 17 Sep 2020 07:55:12 PM PDT

Title:
  duplicate rc local service

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Upgrading from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 using "do-release-upgrade -d"

  Creates two systemd services: rc.local and rc-local

  This has the unfortunate event of running /etc/rc.local multiple times
  during bootup
