I will evaluate the new program, but the rcconf in Sid works quietly, faithfully, and efficiently for me. It is the only tool I evaluated to disable services at startup, because it fits my needs perfectly. Something else may be more perfect, but I would much poorer without it. (Nah, I'd just write a hack-y one-off script, like I do for everything else.)
