for the first time, i want to use run-postinsts to run some initial
system setup, so i'm assuming i need to add that recipe to my image
and the associated files, but i'm curious as to why run-postinsts
lives under recipes-devtools. it doesn't strike me as a development
tool, so what's the reasoning there? thanks.

For no reason reason other than it's intimately tied to dpkg/opkg/rpm,
which are also in devtools.

i'm good with that, and one more (potentially idiotic) question
about run-postinsts. i note in the OE recipe file that it inherits
"update-rc.d", but i'm not sure why.
AIUI (and i could be totally off-base here), i thought systemd
needed update-rc.d only for backward compatibility for sysvinit-style
services, is that right?
so while run-postinsts is free to inherit update-rc.d, does that
have any value if one is not using any sysvinit-driven services? or am
i misunderstanding the fundamental functionality of update-rc.d?

It inherits update-rcd and systemd so that it runs on both systemd and
sysvinit systems.

ok, so my initial assumption was correct ... its value lies solely
in interoperability with sysvinit components; if i have a pure systemd
build, it has no effect. gotcha.
