It's the right behavior, IMHO.
The debian post install script probably doest go through the rc.*
directories looking for runlevel entries since these are all just
symlinks to a script in /etc/init.d/. All that it probably checks for is
that the /etc/init.d/<whatever> script exists and is executable. Then,
on the assumption that its generally a good idea to stop and start
daemons when upgrading them, it does so.
If you want to keep updates from starting the daemon, just chmod 644 it.
