How about /etc/rcD.d/ for disabling services? I also developed with
David Damerell (?) an alternative idea, which went along the lines of:
update-rc.d --disable service
would stop the service and then rename /etc/rc?.d/[SK]* as
/etc/rc?.d/D[SK]*. Then
update-rc.d --enable service
would rename the links back again and restart the service if we are in
an appropriate runlevel.
