Note that the next time you install/upgrade a [kgx]dm package (perhaps
due to a security update), update-rc.d will helpfully decide to put
the links back.  You should probably leave one of the rcN.d links in a
runlevel you don't use.  Alternatively, you could just remove the
display manager package if you don't actually want to use it.
