First, it you use update-rc.d, when the package containing the service
gets updated, the symlink will be replaced. The next time you reboot
the unwanted service will start.

Look at this link for a fix:

http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/UbuntuBootupHowto

Note that at the bottom of the page they do show an example of using
update-rc.d, but in that case it is being used to install a custom
init script.

That's why update-rc.d is still on your system.
