Yes there is, but (1) I can't remember the name of the file that I'm trying to
think of, and (2) I need to know what version of Debian you are using -- I
think I remember that you just recently installed it, thus it is presumably a
new version -- if it's anything newer than Wheezy, then I think it uses
systemd for startup and I know little to nothing about that -- someone else
will have to chime in.
I have two thoughts:
* one is to search the appropriate file(s) that run at startup and see if
one of them includes a command like xset -dpms
* the other is to find the right systemd file (or directory) to include a
command like you suggest (i.e., xset +dpms to run at the right time during
startup
