A few releases ago, intoducing a new init script in /etc/init.d,
and the corresponding links in rc?.d has become a little more
complicated, because the comments at the head of the script now
consitute a meta-language describing the interdependencies of these
scripts. AFAIR, after copying the script in /etc/init.d, the admin
should invoke update-rc.d in some way to do the job. I didn't experiment
with this and rather now put my own bricolage in rc.local, which is of
course not a valid suggestion for vdev.
vdev should be invoked with /dev as argument (plus possible
options) if you want it to create device files on /dev.
Hope this helps.
