It depends on which man page you're reading.
The "disable" option doesn't exist in the (online, no Lenny box at
hand) Lenny man page.
>From the Squeeze man page:
DISABLING INIT SCRIPT START LINKS
When run with the disable [ S|2|3|4|5 ] options, update-rc.d modifies
existing runlevel links for the script /etc/init.d/name by renaming
start links to stop links with a sequence number equal to the
difference of 100 minus the original sequence number.
When run with the enable [ S|2|3|4|5 ] options, update-rc.d modifies
existing runlevel links for the script /etc/init.d/name by renaming
stop links to start links with a sequence number equal to the positive
difference of current sequence number minus 100, thus returning to the
original sequence number that the script had been installed with before
disabling it.
Both of these options only operate on start runlevel links of S, 2, 3,
4 or 5. If no start runlevel is specified after the disable or enable
keywords, the script will attempt to modify links in all start run-
levels.
