Also - leaving things installed but not enabled on boot can be very 
handy. Great for postgresql etc that take a little while (relatively 
speaking) to load on boot. I don't use postgresql regularly at home 
(yet!) so I just "sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql start" when needed.

Unfortunately whenever I upgrade a package like postgresql, the package 
restores all its /etc/rc?.d/ links :-( w/o asking. Any ideas how to get 
debian to _properly_ disable a service from loading at boot?
