Who says you can do such a thing? The proper way of disabling an init
script is to put "exit 0" in it somewhere near the top. Nothing else is
guaranteed to work reliably. Not changing permissions, not rm'ing it,
even getting rid of the rc*.d/ symlinks (or file-rc equivalent).
This is inelegant, yes, and the solution to that is the invoke-rc.d stuff
we'll be rolling out next release.
Cheers,
