the man page for update-rc.d didn't say WHERE to execute update-rc.d,

The update-rc.d has to be executed in the postinst of the
package. If you're using debhelper those scripts should be
generated automatically for you. Just look in the files
debian/rcf/DEBIAN/postinst and .../postrm, which should include
the call to update-rc.d.
Please don't put it in the debian/rules file, as update-rc.d must
be executed on _installation_, not on building the package.

ok, I have modified the postinst.debhelper script and renamed it
(saved it as) postinst in the debian directory. I then created the
deb package.
Is there a way I can install the deb package, but test it and see
that everything works??
thanks
