By default a Debian system startes into runlevel 2 ... you can change the
behavior of the different run levels by adding appropriate symlinks to
/etc/rc?.d/ or removing them ... see the FAQ in
file:/usr/doc/debian/FAQ/index.html (particulary
file:/usr/doc/debian/FAQ/debian-faq-12.html#ss12.5)
See also man update-rc.d
... and of course the mailing list archive (we had this thread a short
while ago).
