    So create a single /etc/init.d/local script, copying
    /etc/init.d/skeleton, and add it into the boot sequence using
    update-rc.d or ln normally. If you want multiple things to start at
    different points in the startup sequence or in different runlevels,
    then you need multiple scripts, but nothing is stopping you from
    creating just one script that does several different things.
