Hi
I'm not a Debian-head, but...
The startup script should be in somewhere like /etc/rc.d or /etc/init.d
and will most likely be called iptables.
This script will probably do an iptables-restore < /path/file.
It is the /path/file that you are looking for. On my gentoo box it is in
/var/lib/iptables/rules-save.
The basic idea is to modify the current table with the iptables command
and then commit an iptables-save > /path/file to save the rules. You can
modify the file directly, however as it follows the format of the iptables
command.
www.netfilter.org has lots of reading on this.
