Hello!
That would be nice, but at this time update-rc.d lacks some features,
the nicest one is:
chkconfig --levels 3 something off
This deletes /etc/rc3.d/S??something and adds /etc/rc3.d/K##something,
and ## is the default Kill-Runlevel specified in /etc/init/something.
It does _not_ touch any of the other links /etc/rc?.d/???something.
It is impossible yet to implement this as a frontend for update-rc.d
because update-rc.d does neither provide a way to change only the link
in one runlevel[1] nor a way to query which links a script has.

[1] "update-rc.d -f blah stop 33 3 ." first removes all links[2] to
blah and adds a stop-link in runlevel 3.
[2] I used file-rc for testing.
