I'm a bit bemused that you think you can't do this on Ubuntu. It uses
the same init system as Debian; it just has different defaults but
you'll likely want to tune the defaults anyhow.
The default RH tool for configuring run levels is chkconfig(8). A
version is available here which clean compiles up for Ubuntu if
required: http://www.fastcoder.net/~thumper/software/sysadmin/chkconfig/
Of course some effort will be required to be done to decide what
belongs in which run level, but it could be done.
HTH,
