By default a Debian system startes into runlevel 2 ... you can change the behavior of the different run levels by adding appropriate symlinks to /etc/rc?.d/ or removing them ... see the FAQ in file:/usr/doc/debian/FAQ/index.html (particulary file:/usr/doc/debian/FAQ/debian-faq-12.html#ss12.5) See also man update-rc.d ... and of course the mailing list archive (we had this thread a short while ago).
