The better way (IMHO) is to remove x-bit from /etc/init.d/<file>, if you don't want to remove the package because of some reason. # chmod 644 /etc/init.d/portmap
I don't believe it is the best way, but at least the unwanted daemon doesn't restart after upgrade . (Package manager complains about it).
