yes, my thoughts exactly. I especially like that the runlevel can be
controled by modifying the chkconfig: line in the init script itself.

I'm don't know what 'file-rc' is.

Yes, I had considered that, in fact, I started hacking on update-rc.d,
but quite when I realized I was reinventing a well-known wheel. I think
it is important to have a chkconfig which is call-compatible with
redhat's, so new redhat to debian converts don't have to fumble around
with update-rc.d when managing services.
