Ok. 1) Debian only installs a package if the item is expected to be used. So the usual use of chkconfig to disable unneeded daemons should not apply here. If you want to disable a daemon (it happens sometimes) and there is no way provided (many packages offer a do not run me option if there is demand) you just edit the init.d script or remove the rc?.d symlinks. 2) as others have said update-rc.d 3) ls the rc?.d directory to see what is started when. For the most part things are started in a certain order to play nicely with others. You may need to change this, but likely not. My router is a laptop so I had to move many of my daemons to start much later than pcmcia.
