For what it's worth... the program "ntsysv" provides an interactive text mode interface which might be a bit easier to work with than renaming links. It's standard on RedHat... I'd be stunned if it wasn't widely available on just about every other distribution too.
Nothing about ntsysv in the package cache; but "apt-cache search sysv init conf" gives:
ksysv - KDE SysV-style init configuration editor runit-run - a UNIX init scheme with service supervision sysv-rc-conf - SysV init runlevel configuration tool for the terminal sysvconfig - A text menu based utility for configuring init script links
I would say all of those bar the second one would fit the bill. I'm astounded that the GNOME version (there will *surely* be one) didn't come up...
The only hard bit is remembering the name "ntsysv" which certainly doesn't provide any mnemonic in my frame of reference for "that program that renames the symlinks for you".
No less easy-to-remember than 'mv' for the same operation. <grin>
Maybe debian has the same feature under a different name (that wouldn't surprise me in the least).
In grand Debian style, we appear to have a plethora of them.

You missed rcconf :) Seems to do the right thing with the sym links.
