Mostly true :)

man update-rc.d says

       If  any  files  /etc/rcrunlevel.d/[SK]??name already exist
       then update-rc.d does nothing.  This is so that the system
       administrator  can rearrange the links, provided that they
       leave at least one link remaining,  without  having  their
       configuration overwritten.

which means you should delete all the S??name links but leave at least
one K??name link.  This will prevent dpkg from enabling inetd during
an upgrade.

HTH,
