By the time you are disabling something it has already been installed and started in postinst scripts. Using policy-rc.d is the only way to prevent unknown anythings from being enabled before installing. That installation may be due to a dependency. Think dnsmasq. Also update-rc.d only configures the boot time configuration. It doesn't affect things until you reboot. It doesn't affect postinst scripts. Using update-rc.d is not a solution. Bob P.S. Related to this is that I really think that if you want a daemon running and install it and the package can configure it and start it then it should do so. If you don't want something running then don't install it. Or remove/purge it. I am not advocating any change that would get in the way of making an installation not start a daemon that it can do so. The chroot case really is a special case.
