If you install a Debian package, stopping at shutdown is taken care of
by the packaging.  This involves creating K... entries in /etc/rc[016].d
which are run at shutdown time.

If you need to do this for your own locally built package, Debian
provides the command update-rc.d.  Check its man page for details.
