Nobody appears to be taking any notice of what update-rc.dD(8) says:
A common system administration error is to delete the links with
the thought that this will "disable" the service, i.e., that
this will prevent the service from being started. However, if
all links have been deleted then the next time the package is
upgraded, the package's postinst script will run update-rc.d
again and this will reinstall links at their factory default
locations. The correct way to disable services is to configure
the service as stopped in all runlevels in which it is started
by default. In the System V init system this means renaming the
service's symbolic links from S to K.
So
update-rc.d apache2 disable
should be used.
