I am going from a .deb to an rpm. The .deb has the files in
subdirectories such as /etc/init.d/foobar I planned to just have /etc

Is that the usual way you can deal with a deb-style file heirarchy
with rpm? Is there a better way?
It is not clear, at me almost, your question. BTW, the "deb-style file hierarchy" is almost equivalent to the files/directory you create in the rpm %install section, in the rpm buildroot. Now in %install section you can do something like this
rm -rf %{buildroot}
mkdir -p %{buildroot}/etc/init.d
.......
cp -a %{SOURCE1} %{buildroot}/etc/init.d/mypkg
(where the (rpm) macro SOURCE1 was defined as
Source1: mypkg.init for example in the SPEC)
and in %files
%files
........
config(noreplace) /etc/init.d/myconfig
So your question, IMHO, is not what deb does (deb is a packaging format e.g an ar archive with some metainfo for the dpkg , gdebi ecc. tools ) but what a dh_make does in building a skeleton for your package for make it a <pkg>.deb. Similar to what does, for example, for rpm the rpmdevtools (in particular rpmdev-newspec), with some difference of course. But there are other build system for rpm , as for deb.
This is a little ref on the subject http://lists.rpm.org/pipermail/rpm-list/2009-January/000113.html perhaps useful.
