The current documentation reads: invoke-rc.d itself only pays attention to the current runlevel; it will block any attempts to start a service in a runlevel in which the service is disabled. Other policies are implemented with the use of the policy-rc.d helper, and are only available if /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d is installed in the system.
kdm is *not* disabled in runlevel 1. So I'd argue that the documentation is not incosistent with its behaviour. That said, it would probably a good idea if libpam0g drops that restart altogether (that functionality is of questionable value imho) or at least uses invoke-rc.d try-restart, to avoid unnecessarily starting services which haven't been running. If Steve is open to handle this in libpam0g, I'm going to reassign this back. Otherwise I'll close this bug report in a couple of weeks.
