This will work, but it is not the recommended way. As far as I know, 
under Sys V, the canonical method to disable a service in a specific 
runlevel is to rename the S link to a K link (plus some juggling with 
sequence numbers, which is obsolete with insserv). There is no need to 
edit init scripts.

I rather recommend sysv-rc-conf (but there are other tools like it) or 
even update-rc.d (there are examples in the man page).

Kind regards,
Andrei
