Why should this be introduced into debian?
What is to start is coded within the symlinks. And to force an start you
just do /etc/init.d/whatever.
Why introduce complicated systems, when there is no advantage over easy
ones.
If someone wrote an script/program named chkconfig to simulate the syntax of
other distributions/OSes, I could understand it. But why introduce
complicated things slowing other things down instead of using the
generic way?
