You could, when you decide you no longer want xdm to start when you boot the
machine, either remove the links (using update-rc.d) or just put
'exit 0' at the top of the script, below
#!/bin/sh
That is what I did, so I can undo it easily in case I ever want to start xdm.
I did not remove xdm because it was a dependency for something else I had
installed.
