No, DON'T do that.

a) the OP said quite clearly that he was using upstart-controlled
programs

b) using chmod in /etc/init.d will have no effect on most
upstart-controlled programs

c) for programs not controlled by upstart, you will then also be unable
to start the scripts manually (at least not without doing something like
"sudo sh /etc/init.d/progname")

d) it's ugly. Read "man update-rc.d" instead
