If we are talking SysV here, they should be stopped if you leave the
runlevel _ONLY_ if there is a stop link in the *destination* runlevel.
Otherwise, behaviour is undefined.

If you have stop links in runlevel 2 and 6 and 0, Debian's sysv-rc will not
rerun the initscript while switching between these runlevels AFAIK.
If you use runlevels and sysv-rc, you'd better have either a start or stop
link in ALL runlevels you use.
