Take a look at the command update-rc.d to change what gets run at start up. As long as you leave one symlink in one of the rcx.d directories, package updates will not change what gets run at boot. For programs I like to keep around but not have running at boot, I remove all of the Sxxxx links in runlevels 2-5, and add a Kxxxx link in a runlevel I typically don't use. --
