I'm not an expert, but you might be able to edit the boot options at the
grub screen.  Then you could have a look at /etc/default/grub and see if
there is reference to xbmc in the "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" line. If so,
I imagine that removing that would stop it loading on boot. Or if you want
to get rid of it altogether you could uninstall it, using synaptic perhaps.
