The symlinks in the runlevel directories are broken, but it is easier to rename the file back rather than reinstate the symlinks. You could also remove xdm, but you have to force the dependencies. When i upgrade <service> it sometimes complains that the original /etc/init.d/service file is missing and always replaces it with the upgraded version.

Runlevel 2 is default on debian, and 3-5 are available for the user or other derivative distros to customize. Bob, where does it say that 3/5 is a standard?
