That actually is a permanent solution (update-rc.d will create links
on upgrade if there are no links in any of the rcX.d directories, but
you can leave the stop links in runlevels 0, 1, and 6 and be fine).
The other is to just remove the xdm package.  (This might cause an
empty X meta-package to be removed, but that's not a big deal.)
