Is this command true for all debian and ubuntu systems? Or does it depend on which startup system is in use?

Also, if we're going to add these details for the apt package, would be good to do so for the RPMs as well.

Yes, this command should work for all Debian based systems.

If the elasticsearch package maintainer changes the init script to
something else (like Upstart) then this would have to be re-evaluated.
With the current packages, this command is explicitly listed in the
installation output.

I am not sure of the correct commands for RPM distros, but this change is
under the APT section.

update-rc.d is specific to Debian / SystemV init. For the upcoming Debian 8 ("Jessie") - which will use systemd init - the corresponding command is systemctl enable elasticsearch.service.

For Red Hat / SysV init (deprecated, last used in RHEL 5 - RHEL 6 uses upstart, RHEL 7 uses systemd) the corresponding command would be chkconfig --add elasticsearch.

IOW the documentation addendum for Apt / Debian systems looks good :)

@tristanbob Merged thanks!
@t-lo Thanks for the note, I added some information about doing the same on RHEL/Fedora.
