If you don't want them, why not uninstall them? If for some reason you don't want to do that, I find it best to stop the service and then simply move the Snnwhatever symlink in /etc/rc2.d/ to a name that starts with an 's' rather than an 'S' (so, let's say, 'mv /etc/rc2.d/S20samba /etc/rc2.d/s20samba'). There's update-rc.d too, but its semantics are a little confusing in connection with upgrades and it's probably best to leave it for use only by automatic scripts until you're familiar with it.
