debhelper can handle this. For init.d scripts and /etc/default files,
that's done by dh_installinit. Ordinarly, it expects files named
packagename.init and package.name default in the debian/ subdirectory of
a debianized source tree which will be installed as
/etc/init.d/packagename and /etc/default/packagename. It's possible to
use an override target in debian/rules to specifiy a different name, eg,

override_dh_installinit:
    dh_installinit --name=ca-server --no-scripts


That's from a package called mkpem-tools and it'll install the
debian/ca-server.init file as init.d script for it (and would install
ca-server.default if there was one).

dh_installlogorotate also supports this option.
