Neither of those solutions seems acceptable for me.

So if someone has an idea, I'm listening.

I would do one of two things. Either I would remove the /etc/rc?.d/ S*
links associated with the services you don't want to start, or make
the script not executable.  Then start them manually later as you
wish. Or I would install a /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d script that did your automated check and only allowed the services to start if the disk was
mounted as you wish.

See the man page for invoke-rc.d for the first pass documentation.
Then read the README.policy-rc.d.gz file.

Thanks, I was not aware of policy-rc.d, which seems to be exactly what I need.

Are you aware that init supports multiple run-levels (man 8 init) each with its own set of services? I'll bet you can use this to do what you want...
