A warning: a package that is disabled in this manner will not remain
disabled if that package is updated. See man page for update-rc.d.
There are also things to watch out for like logrotate. On one machine lpd
kept popping up every week even though I wanted it off, logrotate was
restarting it! Better to just remove the package if you really don't want
it enabled.
