[Lxc-users] Installing services resets the symlinks in /etc/rc*.d (debian template)

it would help if you would be precicely and clearly stating *what* the 
thing is that you're surprised about.

first, any update-rc.d call will re-instate any service that has no 
start or stop links at all, this has always been like that.

in order to circumvent it, you need to leave at least one link in one 
runlevel intact to prevent update-rc.d re-instating the service, you 
might want to use live-debconfig to make this for you in an upgrade-safe 
way.

second, the 'human readable' numbers of the service links are entirely 
pointless anyway since the introduction of dependency based booting in 
debian, see the discussions on -devel that come up every other year 
about it.
