| update-rc.d foo disable is indeed convenient.

| update-rc.d and policy-rc.d are currently two separate interfaces. If I

| 1) policy-rc.d to make sure that the service does not start when the

The only reason for having a policy-rc.d would be to make sure it does
not start on initial installation. If invoke-rc.d starts services on
upgrades after you've done update-rc.d disable $service, that sound like
a bug.
