You can use packages.debian.org to find that etc/init.d/networking comes 
from netbase.

$ dpkg -S /etc/init.d/networking
netbase: /etc/init.d/networking
$

You can download the package from unstable and have a look at it's 
postinst to see where it runs update-rc.d:

$ grep networking /var/lib/dpkg/info/netbase.postinst | grep update-rc
            update-rc.d -f networking remove >/dev/null 2>&1
    update-rc.d networking start 40 S . start 35 0 6 . >/dev/null
$

So it is created as /etc/rcS.d/S40networking

I am under the impression that it is good practice to let the 
maintainers of sysvinit know when you add packages with initscripts, 
though I cannot find any supposting documentation with a glance in 
usr/share/doc/sysv-rc or usr/share/doc/debian-policy
