Then the symlinks will re-appear. man update-rc.d(8). However, if you leave a single symlink in place (e.g. one of the K*gdm ones), then an upgrade will not reinstate the symlinks. My preferred solution is just to do the "exit 0" trick above. Easy to do. Easy to undo. Keep it simple - (I'm a simple person). -- Karl E.
