I am _very_ ignorant in deb packaging, but this wiki

http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot

states:

"In Debian releases prior to 6.0, a service could be added with update-rc.d:

update-rc.d mydaemon defaults

Starting with Debian 6.0, the insserv command is used instead, if 
dependency-based booting is enabled:

insserv mydaemon"

but maybe this is the recommended thing to do for sysadmins, not for
packagers?
