However, it's pretty clear that yocto's not based on that as the initscripts are totally different and missing the framework (there isn't even a /etc/rc.d/init.d, although it looks like there used to be).

Historically Debian is fairly close, but these days that isn't really
true.  It's probably best to look at an existing init script to see
*what* needs to be done, and then copy the style of existing scripts
in Yocto for *how* to do it.
