Unfortunately it seems to just remove the symlinks. Next update, they're 
all back again. Additionally update-rc.d is (IMHO) pretty painful at 
least compared to the chkconfig that mandrake 8 had (years ago when I 
still used RH-based distros).

I'll check it out.

Yeah. Though I usually chmod 644 instead, or just
rm /etc/rc?.d/[SK]??<pkgname>

Its a pain to have to do it again and again though.
