 Use the update-rc.d command to create symbolic links in the /etc/rc?.d
 as appropriate. See that man page for more details.

+All init.d scripts are expected to have a LSB style header documenting
+dependencies and default runlevel settings.  The header look like this
+(not all fields are required):
+
+### BEGIN INIT INFO
+# Provides:          skeleton
+# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog
+# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog
+# Should-Start:      $portmap
+# Should-Stop:       $portmap
+# X-Start-Before:    nis
+# X-Stop-After:      nis
+# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
+# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
+# X-Interactive:     true
+# Short-Description: Example initscript
+# Description:       This file should be used to construct scripts to be
+#                    placed in /etc/init.d.
+### END INIT INFO
+
+More information on the format is available from insserv(8).  This
+information is used to dynamicaly assign sequence numbers to the
+boot scripts and to run the scripts in parallel during the boot.
