It never stopped being used. Debian used runlevel 2 as the standard runlevel
forever AFAIK.
The 3 vs. 5 runlevel is a Red-Hat standard, not a linux standard. Debian uses 2
as regular and 1 IIRC as single user.
The others are there if you wan't to create custom ones.
You can just remove/disable the display manager (kdm/wdm/xdm/gdm) if you don't
want X to startup automatically.
