You can have a look at /etc/rcN.d/ (N is the runlevel) and remove the
linkage which will start X when bootup
I think the runlevel standards in debian are't exactly as you wrote
before, it only depends on the linkages in the directory /etc/rcN.d/ ,
and you can modify it as needed.

At least as long as I have used debian (more than five years) my computer and all instalations I have made booted by default to runlevel 2...
