Binary package hint: postgresql-8.4

After a purge and a subsequent installation the startup script /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 is missing.
This link:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=postgresql-8.4&mode=exactfilename&suite=lucid&arch=any

says that the script shout be installed along with the main package "postgresql-8.42, but this is not true.
Re-installing the package won't produce the needed script in /etc/init.d.

And, anyway, how can I have my postgresql server back up and running?
