Debian *always* uses runlevel 2.

There should be a script named /etc/init.d/*nut* and
/etc/rc2.d/S*nut*. For example, for Samba, they are:
/etc/init.d/samba
/etc/rc2.d/S20samba
To shutdown Samba, I'd run "/etc/init.d/samba stop", and to disable
it from starting at boot, I'd
# mv /etc/rc2.d/S20samba /etc/rc2.d/__S20samba
Do something similar with the *nut* script and that will do what you
want.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
