Have you tried the update-rc.d executable? My understanding is that when
the various init scripts are added/deleted/moved with this, debconf
won't change them. I could be wrong -- but from my experience so far,
when I've used this they stay the way I want them.
Sounds like what you need to do is change the order in which the
processes are stopped -- umount the drive before stopping the packet-CD
driver process. Whichever initlevel they occur in, you may even want to
simply rename the K... links for these scripts.
(I had to do a similar thing to start gpm support *after* I was positive
that my USB support had started -- otherwise I'd have a mouse, but no
gpm support for it. I simply renamed the Sxxgpm script in my default
initlevel to S92gpm -- which started it pretty much after anything
else.)
