Here is the contents of /usr/doc/emacs/README.site-start.d.  Enjoy.

The directory /etc/emacs/site-start.d contains emacs lisp files in the
style of the System V "rc0.d" mechanism.  The directory contents are
sorted alphabetically, and the files are loaded in order by the
debian-rundir call from site-init.el. 

Packages that contain elisp that needs to run at every emacs startup
should install a file in /etc/emacs/site-start.d named 50package.el,
if alphabetical order is good enough.  If it must come before other
packages, use a lower number, if it must come later, use a higher
number, and in either case inform the maintainer of the other package
of the dependency.
