Removing symlinks by update-rc.d might be simple, but it's not convinient. The symlinks will be re-created with the next package update and user will need to remove them again.
The /etc/default approach is, on the other hand, complies better with the Debian Policy [1] and since the files in /etc/default are conffiles it is also more convinient to place the configuration optins like wether start as system wide or not must be specified there. This way the user's options will be protected on upgrades.
