You might want to look into file-rc:
$ apt-cache show file-rc

Package: file-rc

...

Description-en: Alternative boot mechanism using a single configuration file

 This package provides an alternative mechanism to boot the system, to

 shut it down and to change runlevels.  The /etc/rc?.d/* links will be

 converted into one single configuration file /etc/runlevel.conf

 instead, which is easier to administrate than symlinks, and is also

 more flexible.

 .

 The package will automatically convert your existing symlinks into

 the file method on installation, and convert the file back into

 symlinks on removal. Both mechanisms are compatible through

 /etc/init.d/rc, /etc/init.d/rcS, /usr/sbin/update-rc.d, and

 /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d scripts.
