update-rc.d -f <exact name of server script in /etc/init.d> remove
example:  update-rc.d -f smb remove

this removes the runlevel scripts ie:  /etc/rc5.d/S20smb etc...
you can use the -n to 'not' actually do anything, just show you what it
will do if you don't use it...  (does that make sense?? :-))
