The "debian" way of setting up the symlinks is via update-rc.d (1), it will set up the symlinks for all of the runlevels. AFAIK, the system administrator is free to create new entries in /etc/init.d and set up symlinks. However, you may want to make sure that you won't "collide" with any packages you set up in the future. I usually do that by prefixing the script the "hostname-", but there probably are other (better) ways of avoiding collisions. -- Karl E.
