Starting iptables

I was wondering about the best way to start iptables with each boot in
Debian and so I did some googling. I found a Debian Wiki and it gave
instructions concerning update-rc.d, but this requires a script for
iptables in init.d and this does not exist. At least not in my
system. Can anyone give me a quick idea of the "correct" way to start
iptables at boot? I suppose I could just add something to rc.local,
but I was sort of assuming there was a more appropriate way.

Many thanks,

Patrick
