invoke-rc.d itself will only pay attention to the current
runlevel, and block any tries to start an init script in a
runlevel it is not configured to be started at. Other poli‐
cies 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.
So, theoretically, as long as a given script is setup to NOT start in
a given runlevel, invoke-rc.d will NOT start it.
However, I don't really know how this works exactly as the invoke-rc.d
man page is a bit obscure to me.
Steve, Eloy, do you have more clues than me on that issue?
