I doubt that he wanted to automate this. Additionally, knowing the way that works for most linux distributions out there seems more worth to me than a debian specific thing that's meant for package maintainers. Additionally, he can also hardlink the script or copy it or use a different one for every runlevel. You could also say: use dh_make for packaging and debchange for changelog entries but those are just replacable tools or scripts and there's nothing like "this is the only correct way to do this"(tm).
