It is possible to disable a service simply by removing links in
/etc/rc*.d . So long as you leave at least one (/etc/rc0.d/K*package
would seem to be a good candidate), update-rc.d when called by packages
on upgrade is a no-op. Something like:
rm /etc/rc*.d/S*package
should generally do the trick.
Note, now that netbase has changed the dependency on portmap to a
`suggests' you may remove it anyway.
