Why do we keep getting this answer on Debian-User? That is the Red Hat
situation - on Debian, by default runlevels 2 through 5 are essentially
identical, subject to sysop configuration otherwise. The one exception
is that runlevels 4 and 5 don't spawn virtual consoles on screens 3-6 -
otherwise, all the same daemons are launched on systems not otherwise
reconfigured.
The solution to the OP's problem for the moment is to mv the appropriate
S*[gkwx]dm to something like X99[gkwx]dm in /etc/rc${RUNLEVEL}.d
