Hi Juan,
I understand what you mean, but the thing is that /etc/init.d/iptables doesn't exist

Automatically it will load the "active" chainset if you have a sysv symbolic link on /etc/rc<runlevel>.d
If not:
cd /etc/rc<runlevel>.d ln -s ../init.d/iptables S<startup number>iptables
<runlevel> must be the same on /etc/inittab (the default runlevel) or whatever runlevel you want. <startup number> is a number between 00 and 99. I personally choose 12 or 10.
Or, if you want, "the debian way":
# update-rc.d iptables start <startup number> <runlevel> .
(make sure there's a dot on the end of the line )
To write the active chainset:
/etc/init.d/iptables save active
(make sure the directory /var/lib/iptables exists).
To make an inactive chainset:
iptables -F iptables -F -t nat iptables -F -t mangle /etc/init.d/iptables save inactive
