Mostly true :)
man update-rc.d says
If any files /etc/rcrunlevel.d/[SK]??name already exist
then update-rc.d does nothing. This is so that the system
administrator can rearrange the links, provided that they
leave at least one link remaining, without having their
configuration overwritten.
which means you should delete all the S??name links but leave at least
one K??name link. This will prevent dpkg from enabling inetd during
an upgrade.
