My understanding is that something like `update-rc.d $service disable`
is the recommended way these days, and I recommend that in a couple of
game server packages (which seem like a likely thing to want to install
but only run infrequently or manually).
sysv-rc's update-rc.d understands how to disable either insserv/sysv-rc
or systemd services; it doesn't appear to understand Upstart or OpenRC
yet, but perhaps one or both of those dpkg-diverts it, and has a
replacement that does.
file-rc ships its own update-rc.d implementation (at least, according to
the package description it does) which hopefully has the enable/disable
subcommands.
