On my Edgy system I added it as an entry to /etc/init.d  (then so that 
I could control the startup sequence better. I start it very late (even 
after the backend) to give LCDd lots of time to initialize.
Here's my /etc/init.d/mythlcdserver file:

-------------------
#! /bin/sh
#

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
DAEMON=/usr/bin/mythlcdserver
NAME=mythlcdserver
DESC="mythlcdserver"
DAEMON_OPTS="-d -m MythTV"

test -f $DAEMON || exit 0

set -e

case "$1" in
   start)
	echo -n "Starting $DESC: "
	start-stop-daemon --start --quiet \
		--exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS
	echo "$NAME."
	;;
   stop)
	echo -n "Stopping $DESC: "
	start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --quiet \
		--exec $DAEMON
	echo "$NAME."
	;;
   #reload)
	#
	#	If the daemon can reload its config files on the fly
	#	for example by sending it SIGHUP, do it here.
	#
	#	If the daemon responds to changes in its config file
	#	directly anyway, make this a do-nothing entry.
	#
	# echo "Reloading $DESC configuration files."
	# start-stop-daemon --stop --signal 1 --quiet --pidfile \
	#	/var/run/$NAME.pid --exec $DAEMON
   #;;
   restart|force-reload)
	#
	#	If the "reload" option is implemented, move the "force-reload"
	#	option to the "reload" entry above. If not, "force-reload" is
	#	just the same as "restart".
	#
	echo -n "Restarting $DESC: "
         $0 stop
         sleep 1
         $0 start
         echo "$NAME."
	;;
   *)
	N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
	# echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload}" >&2
	echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
	exit 1
	;;
esac

exit 0
