This issue falls under the soon-to-be-posted-to-debian-devel RFC for local
administrative control of initscript starts.

It allows you to do the above, yes.  It's just that I didn't write the code
yet, and I *know* the issue can start a flame war if I don't use severe
helpings of flame-retardants like posting the code up front (so that people
can actually look at it, and notice it will not do any weird crap to their
systems, especially if they DON'T want such administrative control in their
machine).
