Wait a moment, you mean you do not have /etc/init.d? That surely should
exists.
My start-up script is
mme@feivel:~$ stat /etc/init.d/postgresql
File: "/etc/init.d/postgresql"

on a Debian Woody system using Postgresql 7.1.3-7 i.e. the Debian package.
I'm not sure why you try installing from source, but if you do I'd recommend
grabbing the Debian package sources and going from there. Then you can
create your own package file that fits into the system nicely.
