You should create a startup script in /etc/init.d, either named after your
daemon or named after the service it provides. In either case, it might be
wise to prefix or suffix "local" to help prevent any Debian packages from
overwriting it. /etc/init.d/skeleton can serve as a good template.
You'd then use the update-rc.d command it insert symlinks in the proper
runlevels. Since you seem to want it running in any runlevel, "update-rc.d
<init.d_filename> defaults" should do it (where <init.d_filename> is the
filename from the paragraph above). See the manpage for more info.
