I created it from the rpm file that Legato provides.  I
used alien to do the conversion:

alien -d lgtoclnt-6.x.rpm (for example)

would create a Debian package.  There are some
dependencies that need to be installed first, before you
can isntall the deb package.  I don't remember all of them
off the top of my head, but when you do a dpkg -i on the
deb package, it tells you.  I know libncurses4 is one of
them (it may be the only one).

The startup file isn't right for Debian, either.   I added:

# --- these are Red Hat -- don't use --Source function library.
#. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
#
# Source networking configuration.
#. /etc/sysconfig/network



# Check that networking is up.
#[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0
#
# --- these are redhat -- end

[ -f ${DAEMON} ] || exit 0
 # See how we were called.

     # Start daemons.
            echo -n "Starting networker: "  start-stop-daemon --start

  status)
        # look for PID file
        if [ -f $PIDFILE ]; then
                echo  "<$NAME> appears to be running"
        else
