it should be run level 2 in debian. if you are looking to do a big dist-upgrade and want to shut X down to avoid the system load in the process, then ctrl-alt-f[123456], login as root, execute "invoke-rc.d gdm stop" to gracefully bring down X. then proceed with your upgrade and either reboot (if you've changed kernels) or "invoke-rc.d gdm start" to restart X.
