RedHat uses BSD-style init, and Debian uses SysV-style init. This means
that Debian puts one thing in each file, i.e. /etc/init.d/mysql starts
the MySQL server, et. al. To make another program start automatically,
modify the /etc/init.d/skeleton and save it as /etc/init.d/<programname>
Then, use update-rc.d to install your init-script where you want.
