That was my immediate reaction to your query, as well.  Take a look at 
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/580 for a quick intro.

But you might want to look at the man page for update-rc.d (should 
already be installed), and google "rcconf" which is a front-end for 
update-rc.d.

But sysvconfig is probably easier.
