update-rc.d can be slightly arcane to use until you get the hang of its
syntax. Even now I stuff it up ;-)

However, one thing that I always remember is:

 update-rc.d -f servicename remove

...this removes said service from all the runlevels. I remember this
because I'm always getting things in the wrong place [the best one is to
put portmap AFTER nfs-kernel-server, or network after nfs-kernel-server.
lol].

 update-rc.d inetd defaults

...should work for you.
