Here is the script that starts boinc-client on bootup. As you can see it does a lot. I have considered editing it down to just being a startup script and someone may want to do that. I have decided not to do it for the simple reason it is too easy to install from the repositories and update from the latest archive. It works well and from what I have seen has all benefits and no disadvantages.
But if you want to do it for your own reasons here it is. It reads the file /etc/default/boinc-client, in above post, for some settings.
/etc/init.d/boinc-client
