OK, if I rearrange things no problem.
But if I remove runleve-links because I e.g. want to be able to run
apache/MySQL/Samba/openVPN/atftpd/dhcpd ... whatever on my laptop
but do not want them to be run whenever I boot the maschine, I have to
remove the links manually after every update of the services :-(

So it would be really cool to do something like Christian suggested :-)

Or did I miss any mechanism how to get this to work?
