I don't know Debian's naming system for startup scripts but I have a
file called /etc/rc.d/rc.local which has the 'alsactl restore' in it.
Actually, Slackware has a default file of rc.alsa but I think like
yours, it does a lot more than I needed so I don't presently use it.
Had I installed ALSA from Slackware packages, that file would probably
have been appropriate to use.  For Slackware, rc.local is run with
locally added commands every time the machine is booted.
