Title:
  update-rc.d does not disables runlevel 1 services

Status in sysvinit package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Under certain circumstances update-rc.d does not disable packages from
  starting, specifically on runlevel 1.

  In this example I'm using dns-clean service provided by pppconfig
    
  pppconfig enables the following service via postinst:
    #!/bin/sh
    
    # Postinst for pppconfig by John Hasler 1999-2005
    # Any possessor of a copy of this program may treat it as if it
    # were in the public domain.  I waive all rights.
    
    set -e
    
    if [ -x "`which update-menus`" ] ; then
        update-menus
    fi if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "2.3.18ubuntu2"; then
            update-rc.d -f dns-clean remove >/dev/null
    fi
    update-rc.d dns-clean start 70 1 2 3 4 5 . >/dev/null
    
    
    exit 0

  
  After installation of pppconfig package the following rc.N symlinks are set for this service:
    # ls -1 /etc/rc*/*dns-clean
    /etc/rc1.d/S70dns-clean
    /etc/rc2.d/S70dns-clean
    /etc/rc3.d/S70dns-clean
    /etc/rc4.d/S70dns-clean
    /etc/rc5.d/S70dns-clean

  When attempting to disable this is what I get:
    # /usr/sbin/update-rc.d dns-clean disable
    update-rc.d: warning:  start runlevel arguments (none) do not match dns-clean Default-Start values (1 2 3 4 5)
     Disabling system startup links for /etc/init.d/dns-clean ...
     Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/dns-clean ...
       /etc/rc1.d/S70dns-clean
       /etc/rc2.d/S70dns-clean
       /etc/rc3.d/S70dns-clean
       /etc/rc4.d/S70dns-clean
       /etc/rc5.d/S70dns-clean
     Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/dns-clean ...
       /etc/rc1.d/S70dns-clean -> ../init.d/dns-clean
       /etc/rc2.d/K30dns-clean -> ../init.d/dns-clean
       /etc/rc3.d/K30dns-clean -> ../init.d/dns-clean
       /etc/rc4.d/K30dns-clean -> ../init.d/dns-clean
       /etc/rc5.d/K30dns-clean -> ../init.d/dns-clean

  Note that the service is still disabled on runlevel 1, the expected
  outcome is to disable runlevel 1 as well.
