As far as I know, the proper way to disable a service is to change the
Sxy link in Kxy for the respective runlevel (this can also be done with
any of the available runlevel editors, like sysv-rc-conf).

Removing all Sxy symlinks will result in them being recreated on the
next upgrade (as you have experienced).

You can also make changes to the init.d script, but I'm not sure which
ones will be detected by dpkg. Textual changes will, but don't know
about removing the execute bit or the like.

Regards,
Andrei
