Well, quite, so the runlevel links on Debian are simply confusing, as they don't currently map to the runlevels that have been defined locally, and they don't reflect any meaningful link to what was standard practice in Debian's sysvinit either. Is there any pressing reason to keep them? Of course, that still leaves the problem of not starting [xk]dm under the multi-user.target, but that's a separate issue really.
