SOLVED! Why doesn't Maradns start at boot time?

The issue is that the Debian package needs to revise all of the
MaraDNS docs to point out that the default mararc file is in
/etc/maradns/, or to have a very prominent README.debian that points
out that the mararc file is in /etc/maradns.

I am sure Jakko can look at and address this issue; I think, since
Mara's online docs say it's in /etc/mararc, but Debian needs it to be
in /etc/maradns/mararc, the best thing to do is to have a
README.debian pointing this out or to have an additional printf("NOTE:
The Debian build of MaraDNS has the mararc file in
/etc/maradns/mararc\n"); in the code run when MaraDNS is started up.

Don't get me started on how Debian's random hacking of code resulted
in OpenSSH having a gaping security hole.

Personally, I think CentOS/RHEL (or one of the BSDs) makes a lot more
sense on a server.
