    What is the preferred way to add or remove a /etc/init.d/ service from certain
    runlevels?

    The Debian Policy Manual and man pages suggest I should use update-rc.d rather
    than manipulate the symlinks directly. The man page for update-rc.d says,
    "If any files /etc/rcrunlevel.d/[SK]??name already exist then update-rc.d
    does nothing." What do I do to remove a service from a particular run-level?

    I have searched around and in the past, people have suggested to just
    manipulate the symlinks directly. Is this still the case?

    I apologize if I have missed something obvious here!

    Thanks,
    Mike
