Try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure initscripts". Though since you've moved stuff 
around I'm not sure if the packaging scripts will handle setting up the 
service symlinks correctly. You may need to use the "--force" option.

You may have reinstall the initscripts package altogether if 
dpkg-reconfigure doesn't work. To reinstall use "sudo apt-get install 
--reinstall initscripts" If that fails, use the "--force=yes" option 
with that.

Standard caveat: You should backup your system before attempting to use 
any of the above commands since there is a potential to damage your setup.

If all else fails, you could fix the links manually by comparing them 
againt the rc*.d directories of a LiveCD.
