I guess the solution, then, is:
a) if you want on-demand dialling, set up that (using diald),
b) otherwise, get rid of the diald package

Just by the way (and so you don't get confused later), the "init process"
is a technical term which doesn't mean what you think it means. What you
mean is called initialization, boot-up or start-up sequence.
The `init' process is the program that runs as process number 1; it starts
up after the kernel has finished its own initializations, and runs further
initializations (from the init.d directory), makes sure there are gettys
(or something) running on the six console screens at all times, and
oversees the shutdown of the system. It is configured and controlled with
/etc/inittab and /sbin/telinit
