update-rc.d disable seems to be the best way. It renames the service so that it starts with K instead with S. But I still do not know how the gnome service manager is able to disable the service. It does not make any change in the links in rc*.d and it does not make any change in /etc/default/bluetooth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
