I don't have MySQL on my Debian machine but here is an example with ppp.
Just replace that with mysql.
in /etc/rc3.d directory we have
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Sep 15 2000 S14ppp -> ../init.d/ppp
in /etc/rc2.d directory we have
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Sep 15 2000 S14ppp -> ../init.d/ppp
ie in each rc?.d directory that you want to start the service in place a
symlink to the real service script in /etc/init.d
ie
ln -s /etc/init.d/mysql /etc/rc3.d/S99mysql etc...
