No, Debian does not use it. It lets you use it if you so want.

SHOULD? It depend how cleanly you want to do things, and your personal
definition of cleanliness.

You CAN put it in rc.local.

You CAN also define a SysV init script.

You CAN also define a systemd service.

You CAN also set a @reboot crontab.

You CAN replace /sbin/init by a shell script that does what you want and
then continue booting.

This list is not exhaustive.
