According to launchtcl(1)

~/Library/LaunchAgents Per-user agents provided by the user.
/Library/LaunchAgents Per-user agents provided by the adminis-
trator.
/Library/LaunchDaemons System wide daemons provided by the admin-
istrator.
/System/Library/LaunchAgents Mac OS X Per-user agents.
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons Mac OS X System wide daemons.

This varies a bit on 10.4 and 10.5.

P.S. ~/Library/LaunchAgents does not exist, for any of the accounts.

/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/System/Library/LaunchAgents
are all empty.

/System/Library/LaunchDaemons contains:

Ah, our posts crossed in the mail. See my other post with the contents
of the relevant directories.

Try asking launchctl (sorry I misspelled it) directly, using the list
and bslist options. It may look in other places.

Failing that, try looking in the BOM for the package that provided the
Brother Control Center and see where it dumped stuff.

launchctl list
returns nothing

launchctl: unknown subcommand "bslist"

lsbom
/Library/Receipts/BrotherTWAIN.pkg/Contents/Resources/BrotherTWAIN.bom

shows where everything was installed, but the relevant parts are gleaned
from the following:

$ ls /Library/Printers/Brother/Utilities
BrStatusMonitor.app/ DeviceSelector/
ControlCenter/ Server/
$ ls /Library/Printers/Brother/Utilities/ControlCenter/
ControlCenter.app/
$ ls /Library/Printers/Brother/Utilities/DeviceSelector/
DeviceSelector.app/
$ ls /Library/Printers/Brother/Utilities/Server
LOGINserver.app/ NETserver.app/ USBserver.app/

I'm still lost.

Running BrotherTWAIN.pkg itself does not allow to uninstall,[1] assuming
that's what I want to do. I would be happier just to be able to turn
off the auto-launch.

[1] It only allows an "upgrade", which I did not perform.
