(I assume you mean /etc/rc?.d/S* here.) I want that on my system the default is that if a package installs a new service it is not started on boot unless I explicitely enable it. Removing links works once but requires me to re-investigate the situation after every package installation to spot new services that have links to remove. One solution that comes to my mind is to have /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/04check-for-new-services with DPkg { Post-Invoke {"/usr/local/bin/check-for-new-services";}; } where /usr/local/bin/check-for-new-services could do something like #!/bin/bash whitelist=/etc/policy-whitelist.conf blacklist=/etc/policy-blacklist.conf services=$(cd /etc/init.d && ls | grep -v README | grep -v .dpkg-new$) # check if there are new services and ask the user what do about them for service in $services; do if ! grep "^$service$" $whitelist $blacklist > /dev/null; then echo $0: You have a new service $service. Enable? read reply case "$reply" in w) echo $service >> $whitelist ;; b) echo $service >> $blacklist ;; esac fi done # disable all blacklisted services for service in $(cat $blacklist); do if [ "$(ls /etc/rc*/S??$service 2> /dev/null)" != "" ]; then echo update-rc.d $service disable fi done # enable all whitelisted services for service in $(cat $whitelist); do if [ "$(ls /etc/rc*/S??$service 2> /dev/null)" = "" ]; then echo update-rc.d $service enable fi done Usage example: $ sudo aptitude install gnome ... logger: /etc/policy-rc.d: anacron forbidden by default rule invoke-rc.d: policy-rc.d denied execution of start. ... logger: /etc/policy-rc.d: dbus allowed ... logger: /etc/policy-rc.d: avahi-daemon forbidden by default rule invoke-rc.d: policy-rc.d denied execution of start. ... logger: /etc/policy-rc.d: dbus allowed Reloading system message bus config...done. ... logger: /etc/policy-rc.d: udev allowed ... logger: /etc/policy-rc.d: bluetooth forbidden by default rule invoke-rc.d: policy-rc.d denied execution of start. ... logger: /etc/policy-rc.d: cups forbidden by default rule invoke-rc.d: policy-rc.d denied execution of start. ... logger: /etc/policy-rc.d: cups forbidden by default rule invoke-rc.d: policy-rc.d denied execution of force-reload. ... logger: /etc/policy-rc.d: gdm forbidden by default rule invoke-rc.d: policy-rc.d denied execution of reload. ... logger: /etc/policy-rc.d: dbus allowed Reloading system message bus config...done. ... logger: /etc/policy-rc.d: network-manager forbidden by default rule invoke-rc.d: policy-rc.d denied execution of start. ... logger: /etc/policy-rc.d: dbus allowed Reloading system message bus config...done. ... logger: /etc/policy-rc.d: openbsd-inetd allowed logger: /etc/policy-rc.d: saned forbidden by default rule invoke-rc.d: policy-rc.d denied execution of start. ... /usr/local/bin/check-for-new-services: You have a new service anacron.
