Not yet. The official Debian way is
for f in /etc/rc?.d/S[0-9][0-9]scriptname ; do
mv $f $(dirname $f)/K$(basename $f | cut -c2-)
done
to disable a service. The 'update-rc.d scriptname disable'
alternative is an unofficial alternative only available with recent
sysv-rc versions.

Why not?

I would recommend to ship the package with
Default-Start:
Default-Stop: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
and use either a mv command like the one above or 'update-rc.d
scriptname enable 2 3 4 5' when the enable semantic is ready and
implemented in all the *-rc packages in Debian.
And, yes, I am aware that the current official API provided by
update-rc.d is not very good. :/
Happy hacking,
