As I'm using Debian, and as the packages in the package manager aren't quite up-to-date, I'm forced to do a manual installation.
I downloaded the latest version as a .tar.gz file, and extracted it to /opt. Now I'm unsure on what to do next.
I need to have Jetty run as a service on startup, for every user on this PC. But how? I couldn't find anything in the documentation.

If you can not find jetty.sh just download last one http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.jetty/jetty/trunk/jetty-distribution/src/main/resources/bin/jetty.sh
And save it to /etc/init.d/jetty
Also you may need to edit /etc/default/jetty to set your individual settings like:
If you want service start after reboot do not forget add it to default startup level with update-rc.d
