There is something called update-rc.d which is dealing with all these links
cleanly.
usage: update-rc.d <basename> remove
update-rc.d <basename> defaults [<cn> | <scn> <kcn>]
update-rc.d <basename> start|stop <cn> <r> <r> . ...
I guess you wish to use the remove option, which kills the links while
leaving the scripts intact. Was my voice deep enough ?-;
