Here's the script I'm using. Works for me on Debian sid, svn 80xx.
You'll want to (as root) move it to /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend and
then (also as root) do:
update-rc.d mythtv-backend start 80 2 3 4 5 . stop 80 0 1 6 .
mkdir -p /var/log/mythtv
chown mythtv:mythtv /var/log/mythtv
chmod 700 /var/log/mythtv
You may have to edit the script to change the value for DAEMON,
depending on where you've installed the binary.
I'm also attaching mythtv-backend.default, which you should move to
/etc/default/mythtv-backend . You can edit it to control the way the
backend is launched.
HTH.
