It should be sufficient to do
update-rc.d -f portmap remove
update-rc.d -f lpd remove
update-rc.d -f bind remove
although, really, `dpkg -P portmap' is more like it.

No firewall should *EVER* run telnetd. Period. Purge the package, learn to
use ssh for everything.

My script, previously plugged, does this with connection tracking.
iptables -A block -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A block -m state --state INVALID -j DROP
right at the top, then
iptables -A block -p tcp --destination-port 22 -j ACCEPT
to open ssh to all incoming hosts, then
iptables -A block -j DROP
to drop everything else.
