Careful!  You *must* use update-rc.d to install the symlink into
/etc/rcS.d (with the correct options of course, as I've already
posted).  If you try to do things manually, you could end up hosing
someone's system if they are using the file-rc package.  You mustn't
assume that the update-rc.d program works in the same way on all
system setups.
