The short story is that any script symlinked into /etc/rc2.d will get 
executed while your system boots up.  (The long story involves sysvinit, 
runlevels, and a few other concepts that I'm not well suited to 
explain.)

Since you have that symlink, I expect it should start the firestarter 
daemon at boot time.  How are you checking that it's not running?

Does ``invoke-rc.d firestarter start'' or ``invoke-rc.d firestarter 
restart'' get it going?
