I'm not sure how to configure the umask for init itself, but on my Lenny install at least, all other startup scripts are run from /etc/init.d/rc, which is a shell script you can edit to change the umask. I'm not sure if there will be any unexpected side-effects from the change you propose, but it would be fun to find out. :-)
Good luck!
