This is arguably bad advice; if xdm ever gets updated (as in a
security release), update-rc.d will notice that there are no links for
xdm, conclude that the package was never installed, and recreate the
links, leaving you back where you started.  You need to make sure that
at least one link is left behind (like the K links in runlevels 0 and
6) so this doesn't happen.
