I've heard great things about 'rcconf'. It supposedly has a really nice 
curses interface for managing startup links. I've been meaning to give 
it a try but haven't gotten around to it yet.

sudo apt-get install rcconf
sudo rcconf

So far I've been doing mine by the manual method of just removing links 
by handl.
