As far as I know both 'service' and 'update-rc.d' have been updated to do the right thing depending on how you boot (sysv-rc, systemd, etc.). There is also a feature request for 'service' to do 'disable' as well, but hasn't been implemented yet. As another poster already demonstrated, beware of 'update-rc-d remove', as the manpage warns: ,----[ update-rc-d(8) ] | A common system administration error is to delete the links with the | thought that this will "disable" the service, i.e., that this will | prevent the service from being started. However, if all links | have been deleted then the next time the package is upgraded, the | package's postinst script will run update-rc.d again and this will | reinstall links at their factory default locations. The correct way to | disable services is to configure the service as stopped in all | runlevels in which it is started by default.
