This must be a misunderstanding. Debian Squeeze provides several tools to register init.d scripts with the system, and install_initd and remove_initd are among them. In addition, the traditional update-rc.d should be used for native Debian package, and update-rc.d will call insserv as a internal implementation detail. > While the references to LSB and Debian policy are helpful, there > should be enough information in the man page to manage a system > without reference to the Internet.
