Did you by any chance install a package called file-rc?
~$ dpkg --status file-rc
Package: file-rc
Status: install ok installed
Priority: extra
Section: admin
Installed-Size: 27
Maintainer: Tom Lees <tom@lpsg.demon.co.uk>
Version: 0.4.1
Depends: sysvinit
Description: RC script to use a file /etc/runlevel.conf instead of symlinks
This changes the standard /etc/init.d/rc and update-rc.d scripts to
operate on a config-file /etc/runlevel.conf instead, which is easier to
administrate than symlinks, and is also more flexible.
.
The package will automatically convert your existing symlinks into the
file method on installation, and convert the file back into symlinks on
removal.
