No - that is correct.
The Net-SNMP source tarball is designed to be used on a
wide variety of operating systems and distributions. We
don't usually try to guess how services should be started.
There is a suitable 'snmpd.init' script in the 'dist' directory,
but we don't install this automatically. You can add this
by hand, if you feel that it's suitable.

Binary packages are aimed as a specific distribution, so
can safely install O/S-specific (or distribution-specific)
files. Things aren't so simple for the main source tarball.

Most times you have to manually copy the init script to the startup
folder. This is due to various differences in how *nix systems are set
up (differences in boot between say Redhat builds, Debian builds, Free
BSD builds, etc) and therefore somewhere in the documentation it will
specify the right scripts to use for that. I haven't built SNMPD from
source in a while, but I do believe there is an example script in the
source code folder, and you may have to tune the file by hand to make
sure all the variables match for your system (/bin/snmpd may be
/usr/bin/snmpd on your system, etc)

This is normal, the generated Makefiles do not create initialization
scripts for you.

Since you're running Ubuntu you could download (but not install) the
precompiled net-snmp package and extract the /etc/init.d/snmpd script,
then adapt it for your own purposes.
