Ironically, that wouldn't work on debian-based systems as the web server
process is usually called apache and runs under the user www-data ;-)

You'll also need to set things to start/stop in certain runlevels. As
someone said, update-rc.d is the debian tool for that though I must admit I
tend to just modify the symlinks which is, I guess, distro-agnostic too.
People seem to recommend using the tools. Perhaps that protects you from
mistakes better.
