Hi.
You don't want to remove any scripts from /etc/init.d on Debian. You
want to remove or rename the symbolic links in /etc/rc2.d.
/etc/rc2.d is the default dir for managing init scripts for runlevel 2
on a Debian system.
Check out the man page and docs for using update-rc.d to understand how
packages manage init scripts.
Usually, the package only runs update-rc.d during initial install.
After that, it can update the init script if needed, but as long as it
sees a link for it in one of the /etc/rc?.d dirs, it won't run
update-rc.d again.
