Something I have done and seen done is to either a) add exit 0 right after start) and add a force-start which runs anyway
b) place a file somewhere (maybe in /etc/init.d called NO_<script>) and add a test for that in the start) section of the script. Again with a force-start option added option b) is how I currently disable daemons I do not need running all the time. This has the advantage of being obvious and easy.
