I agree with you for the /etc/rcX.d symlinks but various packages (not
sure about proftpd) start their daemon when upgraded even if it was not
started before and there is no start link in /etc/rcX.d, only stop links :
I had this behaviour with tomcat4 for example or fetchmail.
I, too, find this behaviour a little annoying and don't know if there is a
defined Debian policy.
