Yes, that is certainly the Unix Way (and the Right Way (tm)). I was
being too subtle for my own good: by using the term "Debian Way" I
actually wanted to say "do not use update-rc.d to remove or modify the
links, just mv (rename) the files."

There is a common misconception that files in /etc/rc?.d/ must only be
handled via update-rc.d. I'm not sure where that comes from but a
*lot* of people make that assumption.

Cheers!
